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 ...

Fungal spore diversity reflects substrate-specific deposition challenges
Scientific Reports, 2018 Sexual spores are important for the dispersal and population dynamics of fungi. They show remarkable morphological diversity, but the underlying forces driving spore evolution are poorly known.

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.

Comparative analysis of Bacillus weihenstephanensis KBAB4 spores obtained at different temperatures [PDF]
, 2010 The impact of Bacillus weihenstephanensis KBAB4 sporulation temperature history was assessed on spore heat resistance, germination and outgrowth capacity at a temperature range from 7 to 30 °C. Sporulation rate and efficiency decreased at low temperature,

Nature Communications, 2018 Some bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis, withstand starvation by forming dormant spores that revive when nutrients become available. Although sporulation and spore revival jointly determine survival in fluctuating environments, the relationship between ...

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.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 In its natural habitat, the soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis often has to cope with fluctuating osmolality and nutrient availability. Upon nutrient depletion it can form dormant spores, which can revive to form vegetative cells when nutrients become ...
