The Enumeration of Heated Bacterial Spores [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1950 Experiments with 13 strains of Bacillus isolated from canned foods haveshown that, like Clostridium species, the germination of heated spores is affectedby inhibitors present in the media. As with Clostridium species, susceptibilityto inhibitors increases with the amount of heating to which the spores are exposed.The Bacillus strains, however, show ...

Non‐thermal plasma decontamination of microbes: a state of the art
Biotechnology Progress, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract Microbial decontamination is a critical concern in various sectors, from healthcare to food processing. Traditional decontamination methods, while effective to a degree, present limitations in terms of environmental impact, efficiency, and potential harm to the target material. This review investigates the emerging realm of non‐thermal plasma (

Method and apparatus for detecting and quantifying bacterial spores on a surface [PDF]
, 2009 A method and an apparatus for detecting and quantifying bacterial spores on a surface. In accordance with the method: bacterial spores are transferred from a place of origin to a test surface, the test surface comprises lanthanide ions.

Differential in vitro and in vivo effect of barley cysteine and serine protease inhibitors on phytopathogenic microorganisms [PDF]
, 2011 Protease inhibitors from plants have been involved in defence mechanisms against pests and pathogens. Phytocystatins and trypsin/α-amylase inhibitors are two of the best characterized protease inhibitor families in plants.

A precise relationship among Buller's drop, ballistospore and gill morphology enables maximal packing of spores within gilled mushrooms [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Basidiomycete fungi eject spores using a surface tension catapult; a fluid drop forms at the base of each spore and after reaching a critical size, coalesces with the spore and launches it from the gill surface. Although basidiomycetes function within ecosystems as both devastating pathogens and mutualists critical to plant growth, an incomplete ...

Surface appendages of bacterial spores [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2006 SummaryBacilli and Clostridia generate dormant, highly resistant cells, called spores, in response to stress. Spores of many species are decorated by morphologically diverse structures of unknown function called appendages that have yet to be studied at the molecular level. In this issue, Walker et al. employ reverse genetics to identify genes encoding

Bioactives From Brown Algae: Antioxidant, Anti‐Inflammatory, Anticancer, and Antimicrobial Potential
ChemBioEng Reviews, EarlyView.This review explores key bioactives in brown algae and their antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial properties. Covering studies from 2014 to 2024, it highlights their relevance in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and foods, while addressing challenges and future directions to unlock their full potential.

PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Bacterial spores play an important role in disease initiation, transmission and persistence. In some species, the exosporium forms the outermost structure of the spore and provides the first point of contact between the spore and the environment.

Summoning the wind: Hydrodynamic cooperation of forcibly ejected fungal spores [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 The forcibly launched spores of the crop pathogen \emph{Sclerotinia sclerotiorum} must eject through many centimeters of nearly still air to reach the flowers of the plants that the fungus infects. Because of their microscopic size, individually ejected spores are quickly brought to rest by drag.
