Superdormant Spores as a Hurdle for Gentle Germination-Inactivation Based Spore Control Strategies
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Bacterial spore control strategies based on the germination-inactivation principle can lower the thermal load needed to inactivate bacterial spores and thus preserve food quality better.

Control of bacterial spores [PDF]
British Medical Bulletin, 2000 Bacterial spores are much more resistant than their vegetative counterparts. The most dangerous spore-former is Clostridium botulinum which produces a potent neurotoxin that can prove fatal. The most common food poisoning from a spore-former is caused by C. perfringens. Other food poisoning spore-formers include Bacillus cereus, B.

Detection of Aerobic Bacterial Endospores: From Air Sampling, Sterilization Validation to Astrobiology [PDF]
, 2008 Bacterial endospores are formed in genera such as Bacillus and Clostridium in times of incipient stresses. Derivative of their remarkable resistance and ubiquity, endospores are delivery vehicles for anthrax attack, biological indicators for checking ...

Transcriptional analysis of temporal gene expression in germinating Clostridium difficile 630 endospores. [PDF]
, 2013 Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of hospital acquired diarrhoea in industrialised countries. Under conditions that are not favourable for growth, the pathogen produces metabolically dormant endospores via asymmetric cell division.

Detection of Bacterial Spores with Lanthanide−Macrocycle Binary Complexes
, 2016 The detection of bacterial spores via dipicolinate-triggered lanthanide luminescence has been improved in terms of detection limit, stability, and susceptibility to interferents by use of lanthanide−macrocycle binary complexes.

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

Bacterial Spores as Vaccine Vehicles [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2003 ABSTRACT For the first time, bacterial spores have been evaluated as vaccine vehicles. Bacillus subtilis spores displaying the tetanus toxin fragment C (TTFC) antigen were used for oral and intranasal immunization and were shown to generate mucosal and systemic responses in a murine model.
