Enantiomer sensing enables social avoidance by bacterial spores [PDF]

iScience
Summary: The role of molecular chirality in shaping interactions among organisms remains unclear. We discovered that amino acid stereochemistry provides a social avoidance mechanism for Bacillus subtilis spores.

A Cell‐Penetrating Peptide‐Derived Fluorescent Probe for Selective Isolation of Bacterial Spores [PDF]

Microbial Biotechnology
In this study, we identify a peptide discovered through fluorescence‐based screening of a cell‐penetrating peptide (CPP) library that preferentially associates with bacterial spores and evaluate its utility as a fluorescence‐guided tool for spore ...

Emerging Applications of Bacterial Spores in Nanobiotechnology [PDF]

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2003
Bacterial spores are robust and dormant life forms with formidable resistance properties, in part, attributable to the multiple layers of protein that encase the spore in a protective and flexible shield.

Immobilization of bacterial spores using eggshells nanoparticles and their effective role in concrete bio-healing process: novel approach [PDF]

BMC Biotechnology
Background 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,

Oral vaccination of fish against vibriosis using spore-display technology

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Oral vaccines are highly demanded by the aquaculture sector, to allow mass delivery of antigens without using the expensive and labor-intensive injectable vaccines. These later require individual handling of fish, provoking stress-related mortalities.One

Phages Bind to Vegetative and Spore Forms of Paenibacillus larvae and to Vegetative Brevibacillus laterosporus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Paenibacillus larvae is the causative agent of American Foulbrood (AFB), the most destructive bacterial infection in honeybees. Even antibiotic-sensitive strains of P.

Research Progress on Formation, Germination and Control Methods of Bacterial Spores

Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2023
Bacterial spores are extremely resistant to various processing techniques attributable to its special structure and physiological processes, and often lead to the spoilage of thermally sterilized food. Therefore, it is of great significance to inactivate

Comparison of Synergistic Effect of Nisin and Monolaurin on the Inactivation of Three Heat Resistant Spores Studied by Design of Experiments in Milk

Journal of Food Quality, 2021
Spore forming bacteria are special problems for the dairy industry. Heat treatments are insufficient to kill the spores. This is a continuously increasing problem for the industry, but we should be able to control it. In this context, we investigated the

Combination of supercritical CO2 and high-power ultrasound for the inactivation of fungal and bacterial spores in lipid emulsions

Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, 2021
For the first time, this study addresses the intensification of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) treatments using high-power ultrasound (HPU) for the inactivation of fungal (Aspergillus niger) and bacterial (Clostridium butyricum) spores in oil-in ...
