Catalytic materials enabled by a programmable assembly of synthetic polymers and engineered bacterial spores [PDF]

, 2023
Natural biological materials are formed by self-assembly processes and catalyze a myriad of reactions. Here, we report a programmable molecular assembly of designed synthetic polymers with engineered bacterial spores. This self-assembly process is driven

Inactivating and damaging properties of the disinfectant “MultiDez” when exposed to bacteria and spores

Heliyon, 2023
Disinfectants play a crucial role in controlling the spread of infectious diseases caused by bacteria and spore-forming organisms. Bacteria and spores can persist on surfaces and in the environment for extended periods, posing a significant risk to ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
