Immobilization of bacterial spores using eggshells nanoparticles and their effective role in concrete bio-healing process: novel approach [PDF]
BMC BiotechnologyBackground Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) has gained increasing attention as a sustainable bioengineering strategy for improving the strength and bio-healing capacity of concrete. Through biologically mediated CaCO₃ formation,

Memory of Germinant Stimuli in Bacterial Spores
mBio, 2015 Bacterial spores, despite being metabolically dormant, possess the remarkable capacity to detect nutrients and other molecules in their environment through a biochemical sensory apparatus that can trigger spore germination, allowing the return to ...

Molecular Kinetics of Reviving Bacterial Spores [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2013 ABSTRACT Bacterial spores can remain dormant for years, yet they possess a remarkable potential to rapidly resume a vegetative life form. Here, we identified a distinct phase at the onset of spore outgrowth, designated the ripening period.
