Sporulation at reduced water activity impairs germination kinetics of Bacillus subtilis spores [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyWhile the effect of sporulation temperature on spore germination has been extensively studied, the effect of other relevant environmental factors such as water activity (aw) has been overlooked, despite the fact that sporulation niches with lower ...

The proppin Bcas3 and its interactor KinkyA localize to the early phagophore and regulate autophagy [PDF]
, 2021 To resolve the signaling mechanisms that mediate the starvation-induced processes of Dictyostelium sporulation and encystation, we performed insertional mutagenesis on cells harboring an mRFP-tagged spore gene.

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

Spore Coat Architecture of Clostridium novyi NT Spores [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2007 ABSTRACT Spores of the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium novyi NT are able to germinate in and destroy hypoxic regions of tumors in experimental animals. Future progress in this area will benefit from a better understanding of the germination and outgrowth processes that are essential for the tumorilytic ...

Flexibility of the programme of spore coat formation in Bacillus subtilis: bypass of CotE requirement by over-production of CotH. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Bacterial spores are surrounded by the coat, a multilayered shell that contributes in protecting the genome during stress conditions. In Bacillus subtilis, the model organism for spore formers, the coat is composed by about seventy different proteins ...

Bacillus subtilis spores displaying RBD domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023 Bacillus subtilis spores are considered to be efficient and useful vehicles for the surface display and delivery of heterologous proteins. In this study, we prepared recombinant spores with the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike ...

Synthesis and Assembly of a Novel Glycan Layer in Myxococcus xanthus Spores [PDF]
, 2014 Myxococcus xanthus is a Gram-negative deltaproteobacterium that has evolved the ability to differentiate into metabolically quiescent spores that are resistant to heat and desiccation. An essential feature of the differentiation processes is the assembly
