Acta Palaeobotanica, 2019 The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary Chicxulub impact is supposed to have produced a nearly decade-long impact winter which resulted in a mass-extinction event among dicot angiosperms but which left pteridophytes comparatively unaffected.

Bacteriocins: Novel Solutions to Age Old Spore-Related Problems?
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, which have the ability to kill or inhibit other bacteria. Many bacteriocins are produced by food grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Most bacteria can, at least to some degree, hunker down during periods of stress and wait for good times to return. No cells, however, do this as effectively as those Bacilli and Clostridia that form spores. Dormant cells produced by these bacteria can survive most environmental challenges found on earth and even a few in outer space and can remain ...

c-di-GMP Inhibits Early Sporulation in Clostridioides difficile
mSphere, 2021 The formation of dormant spores is essential for the anaerobic pathogen Clostridioides difficile to survive outside the host gastrointestinal tract. The regulatory pathways and environmental signals that initiate C.

Extreme Compressed Sensing of Poisson Rates from Multiple Measurements [PDF]
, 2021 Compressed sensing (CS) is a signal processing technique that enables the efficient recovery of a sparse high-dimensional signal from low-dimensional measurements. In the multiple measurement vector (MMV) framework, a set of signals with the same support must be recovered from their corresponding measurements.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2015 ABSTRACT Despite being resistant to a variety of environmental insults, the bacterial endospore can sense the presence of small molecules and respond by germinating, losing the specialized structures of the dormant spore, and resuming active metabolism, before outgrowing into vegetative cells.

Mobility of core water in Bacillus subtilis spores by $^2$H NMR [PDF]
Biophys. J. 105, 2016--2023 (2013), 2013 Bacterial spores in a metabolically dormant state can survive long periods without nutrients under extreme environmental conditions. The molecular basis of spore dormancy is not well understood, but the distribution and physical state of water within the spore is thought to play an important role.

Conservation of the “Outside-in” Germination Pathway in Paraclostridium bifermentans
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Clostridium difficile spore germination is initiated in response to certain bile acids and amino acids (e.g., glycine). Though the amino acid-recognizing germinant receptor is unknown, the bile acid germinant receptor is the germination-specific ...
