Understanding the Evolutionary Relationships and Major Traits of \u3cem\u3eBacillus\u3c/em\u3e through Comparative Genomics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: The presence of Bacillus in very diverse environments reflects the versatile metabolic capabilities of a widely distributed genus. Traditional phylogenetic analysis based on limited gene sampling is not adequate for resolving the genus ...

Living Microbial Drugs

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The introduction outlines the review scope. Microbial cell factories as living drugs cover host–gut microbiota, bacteria, yeast, and other microbial systems, with comparative host advantages. Engineering strategies include synthetic circuits, quorum sensing, and memory.

Role of the gerP operon in germination and outgrowth of Bacillus anthracis spores.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Germination of Bacillus anthracis spores occurs when nutrients such as amino acids or purine nucleosides stimulate specific germinant receptors located in the spore inner membrane. The gerP(ABCDEF) operon has been suggested to play a role in facilitating

Effect of soiling agents on disinfection efficacy of a pulsed‐xenon UV lamp towards Listeria monocytogenes on stainless steel surfaces

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
This study quantifies the effects of different soils found in the food processing environment on the efficiency of pulsed‐xenon UV disinfection. Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne illness that poses a significant threat to human health in young, old, and immunocompromised persons and accordingly, prevention of Listeria contamination is of ...

Spore coat protein and enterotoxin synthesis in Clostridium perfringens [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1977
Polyacrylamide gel profiles of Clostridium perfringens spore coat protein revealed four and occasionally five components. Pulse-chase experiments indicated that synthesis of coat protein polypeptide and enterotoxin was an early sporulation event. However, maximum synthesis occurred coincident with the onset of heat resistance.

Nuclear Entanglement: New Insights Into the Role of Cytoskeleton and Nucleoskeleton in Plant Nuclear Function

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

Coat and Enterotoxin-related Proteins in Clostridium perfringens Spores [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology, 1989
Coat proteins from mature spores of two enterotoxin-positive (Ent+) and two enterotoxin-negative (Ent-) strains of Clostridium perfringens were solubilized using 50 mM-dithiothreitol and 1% sodium dodecyl sulphate at pH 9.7, and alkylated using 110 mM-iodoacetamide to prevent aggregation. The coat proteins and C.

Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.

Human Microsporidial Infections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Microsporidia are eukaryotic, spore forming obligate intracellular parasites, first recognised over 100 years ago. Microsporidia are becoming increasingly recognised as infectious pathogens causing intestinal and extra-intestinal diseases in both immuno ...
