Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore‐Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila [PDF]
Advanced ScienceWhile a few effectors of entomopathogenic fungi such as Metarhizium robertsii have been shown to evade insect humoral immunity, the strategies employed by fungi to subvert host cellular defenses remain elusive.

Diversity and Evolutionary Dynamics of Spore-Coat Proteins in Spore-Forming Species of Bacillales [PDF]
Microbial Genomics, 2020 Among members of the Bacillales order, there are several species capable of forming a structure called an endospore. Endospores enable bacteria to survive under unfavourable growth conditions and germinate when environmental conditions are favourable again.

Antagonistic role of CotG and CotH on spore germination and coat formation in Bacillus subtilis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Spore formers are bacteria able to survive harsh environmental conditions by differentiating a specialized, highly resistant spore. In Bacillus subtilis, the model system for spore formers, the recently discovered crust and the proteinaceous coat are the

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2020 Microbial surface contamination of equipment or of food contact material is a recurring problem in the food industry. Spore-forming bacteria are far more resistant to a wide variety of treatments than their vegetative forms. Understanding the mechanisms underlying decontamination processes is needed to improve surface decontamination strategies against

Functional characterization of Clostridium difficile spore coat proteins. [PDF]
J Bacteriol, 2013 ABSTRACT Spores of Clostridium difficile play a key role in the dissemination of this important human pathogen, and until recently little has been known of their functional characteristics.

Temporal and spatial regulation of protein cross-linking by the pre-assembled substrates of a Bacillus subtilis spore coat transglutaminase. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2019 In many cases protein assemblies are stabilized by covalent bonds, one example of which is the formation of intra- or intermolecular ε-(γ-glutamyl)lysil cross-links catalyzed by transglutaminases (TGases).

Electron Beam Irradiation Dose Dependently Damages the Bacillus Spore Coat and Spore Membrane [PDF]
International Journal of Microbiology, 2012 Effective control of spore-forming bacilli begs suitable physical or chemical methods. While many spore inactivation techniques have been proven effective, electron beam (EB) irradiation has been frequently chosen to eradicate Bacillus spores.

Molecular architecture of the assembly of Bacillus spore coat protein GerQ revealed by cryo-EM [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsProtein filaments are ubiquitous in nature and have diverse biological functions. Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) enables the determination of atomic structures, even from native samples, and is capable of identifying previously unknown filament ...

The Direct Interaction between Two Morphogenetic Proteins Is Essential for Spore Coat Formation in Bacillus subtilis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In Bacillus subtilis the protective layers that surround the mature spore are formed by over seventy different proteins. Some of those proteins have a regulatory role on the assembly of other coat proteins and are referred to as morphogenetic factors ...

Sucrose Isomerase Mutants’ Expression in Bacillus subtilis for Isomaltulose Production [PDF]
MicroorganismsIsomaltulose is produced via sucrose isomerase catalysis by Serratia plymuthica A30. The enzyme was expressed in Bacillus subtilis using surface display, in combination with Bacillus subtilis spore coat CotC.
