A Clostridium difficile alanine racemase affects spore germination and accommodates serine as a substrate

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
Clostridium difficile has become one of the most common bacterial pathogens in hospital-acquired infections in the United States. Although C. difficile is strictly anaerobic, it survives in aerobic environments and transmits between hosts via spores.

THE GERMINATION OF THE SPORES OF CONOCEPHALUM CONICUM

American Journal of Botany, 1920
This work was undertaken in order to determine the time and the extent of the germination of the spores within the capsule of Conocephalum conicum (L.) Dumort. In I 895 Farmer (3) stated that the spores of this species germinate before leaving the capsule, but that the divisions of the spore do not occur so early as in Pellia, in which plant ...

Soil pH Amelioration Synergizes Carbon Accrual with Yield Gains Under Organic Substitution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Soil pH shifts towards neutrality in both acidic and alkaline soils under organic substitution. A global synthesis links pH amelioration to soil organic carbon accrual through enhanced microbial biomass after accounting for added organic carbon and its interaction with pH. This pH amelioration‐shared soil organic carbon accrual accounts for 5.1–8.6% of

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Bile Acid Analogues Inhibitory to Clostridium difficile Spore Germination

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2017
Standard antibiotic-based strategies for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infections disrupt indigenous microbiota and commonly fail to eradicate bacterial spores, two key factors that allow recurrence of infection.
