Evaluation of Microencapsulation Techniques for MICP Bacterial Spores Applied in Self-Healing Concrete

Scientific Reports, 2019
Concrete cracks must be repaired promptly in order to prevent structural damage and to prolong the structural life of the building (or other such construction). Biological self-healing concrete is a recent alternative technology involving the biochemical

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.

Bacillus thuringiensis Spores and Cry3A Toxins Act Synergistically to Expedite Colorado Potato Beetle Mortality

Toxins, 2021
The insect integument (exoskeleton) is an effective physiochemical barrier that limits disease-causing agents to a few portals of entry, including the gastrointestinal and reproductive tracts. The bacterial biopesticide Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) enters

A role for microbial selection in frescoes' deterioration in Tomba degli Scudi in Tarquinia, Italy [PDF]

, 2017
Mural paintings in the hypogeal environment of the Tomba degli Scudi in Tarquinia, Italy, show a quite dramatic condition: the plaster mortar lost his cohesion and a white layer coating is spread over almost all the wall surfaces.

Detection of bacterial spores with lanthanide-macrocycle binary complexes [PDF]

, 2009
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.

Probiotic Bacillus subtilis protects against α-synuclein aggregation in C. elegans [PDF]

, 2020
How the gut microbiome affects Parkinson's disease remains unclear. Goya et al. show that the probiotic B. subtilis strain PXN21 inhibits and clears α-synuclein aggregation in a C. elegans model.

Memory of Germinant Stimuli in Bacterial Spores

mBio, 2015
Bacterial spores, despite being metabolically dormant, possess the remarkable capacity to detect nutrients and other molecules in their environment through a biochemical sensory apparatus that can trigger spore germination, allowing the return to ...
