Bacillus cereus spores release alanine that synergizes with inosine to promote germination. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:The first step of the bacterial lifecycle is the germination of bacterial spores into their vegetative form, which requires the presence of specific nutrients.

Cell-specific cargo delivery using synthetic bacterial spores

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Delivery of cancer therapeutics to non-specific sites decreases treatment efficacy while increasing toxicity. In ovarian cancer, overexpression of the cell surface marker HER2, which several therapeutics target, relates to poor prognosis.

Self-repairing of shrinkage crack in mortar containing microencapsulated bacterial spores

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2023
The purpose of this research work was to evaluate the efficacy of microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) method in shrinkage crack repairing. Portland cement was combined with sand, bacterial spores, water, and nutrients to prepare self-healing

Effects of Different Bacteriostats on the Dynamic Germination of Clostridium perfringens Spores

Foods, 2023
Bacteriostats, as chemical substances that inhibit bacterial growth, are widely used in the sterilization process; however, their effects on spindle spores are unclear.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spores host bacteria that affect nutrient biodynamics and biocontrol of soil-borne plant pathogens

Biology Open, 2011
Summary The aim of this research was to isolate and characterize bacteria from spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). We designated these bacteria ‘probable endobacteria’ (PE). Three bacterial strains were isolated from approximately 500 spores of

Bacterial Spore mRNA – What’s Up With That? [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Bacteria belonging to the orders Bacillales and Clostridiales form spores in response to nutrient starvation. From a simplified morphological perspective, the spore can be considered as comprising a central protoplast or core, that is, enveloped sequentially by an inner membrane (IM), a peptidoglycan cortex, an outer membrane, and a proteinaceous coat.

Research Progress of Cold Plasma-induced Inactivation of Bacterial Spores

Shipin gongye ke-ji
Spores are the main dormant forms of some bacteria under harsh environment conditions, which are widely distributed in nature. Bacterial spores have a rigid structure, which helps resist to environmental stresses such as heat and ultraviolet radiation ...

Application of modified-alginate encapsulated carbonate producing bacteria in concrete: a promising strategy for crack self-healing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Self-healing concrete holds promising benefits to reduce the cost for concrete maintenance and repair as cracks are autonomously repaired without any human intervention.

Comparative characterization of silver nanoparticles synthesized by spore extract of Bacillus subtilis and Geobacillus stearothermophilus [PDF]

Nanomedicine Journal, 2018
Objective(s): Silver nanostructures have gathered remarkable attention due to their applications in diversefields. Researchers have recently demonstrated that bacterial spores are capable of reducing silver ions toelemental silver leading to formation of
