Involvement of the spore coat in germination of Bacillus cereus T spores [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1987 Bacillus cereus T spores were prepared on fortified nutrient agar, and the spore coat and outer membrane were extracted by 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate-100 mM dithiothreitol in 0.1 M sodium chloride (SDS-DTT) at pH 10.5 (coat-defective spores). Coat-defective spores in L-alanine plus adenosine germinated slowly and to a lesser extent than spores not ...

Micro‐ and Nano‐Bots for Infection Control
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review presents a strategic vision for integrating micro‐ and nanobots in the pipeline for infection diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. To develop these robots as a practical solution for infection management, their design principles are clarified based on their propulsion mechanisms and then categorized infection management domains based on ...

Immobilization and Application of Fatty Acid Photodecarboxylase in Deep Eutectic Solvents
ChemBioChem, Volume 23, Issue 23, December 5, 2022., 2022 The recently discovered fatty acid photodecarboxylase shows great promise for the synthesis of drop‐in fuels, but several factors limit its applicability, such as poor photostability and poor solubility of the substrates. In this work we show, for the first time, its immobilization in a solid carrier, and its applicability in deep eutectic solvents ...

mBio, 2018 Bacterial spores produced by the Bacillales are composed of concentric shells, each of which contributes to spore function. Spores from all species possess a cortex and coat, but spores from many species possess additional outer layers.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study investigates the antifungal efficacy of ultrashort pulsed laser‐induced periodic surface structures (USP‐DLIP) on copper, brass, and steel surfaces. Using Aspergillus niger as a model, the research highlights a 99% reduction in spore viability on 9 µm structured copper surfaces due to enhanced copper ion release. Scanning electron microscopy

Coherent spore dispersion via drop-leaf interactions [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The dispersion of plant pathogens, such as rust spores, is responsible for more than 20% of global yield loss annually, and poses a significant threat to human health. However, the release mechanics of pathogens from flexible plant surfaces into the canopy is not well understood.

Bee Better: The Role of Honey in Modern Wound Care
Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.The use of honey as a wound care agent is controversial but paradoxically increasingly popular. Honey possesses relevant antimicrobial properties and can modulate the immune system. The wound healing properties of honey likely depend on its composition and varies across wound types.

A precise relationship among Buller's drop, ballistospore and gill morphology enables maximal packing of spores within gilled mushrooms [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Basidiomycete fungi eject spores using a surface tension catapult; a fluid drop forms at the base of each spore and after reaching a critical size, coalesces with the spore and launches it from the gill surface. Although basidiomycetes function within ecosystems as both devastating pathogens and mutualists critical to plant growth, an incomplete ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The study deciphers the landscapes of lineage‐related transcription factors in prostatic adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine prostate cancer using an innovative approach. These findings, validated across cohorts, highlight TFs' roles in cell development and offer novel therapeutic targets.
