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.

Sensing a Bacillis anthracis biomarker with well-known OLED emitter EuTta3Phen [PDF]
, 2016 Dipicolinic acid (DPA) is a distinctive biomarker for bacterial spores. Here, we present the successful demonstration of dramatic Switch-OFF sensing of DPA using an easily synthesised Eu(III) phosphor applied primarily in light-emitting devices.

New Thoughts on an Old Topic: Secrets of Bacterial Spore Resistance Slowly Being Revealed
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2023 The quest for bacterial survival is exemplified by spores formed by some Firmicutes members. They turn up everywhere one looks, and their ubiquity reflects adaptations to the stresses bacteria face. SUMMARY The quest for bacterial survival is exemplified

At the nexus of three kingdoms: the genome of the mycorrhizal fungus Gigaspora margarita provides insights into plant, endobacterial and fungal interactions. [PDF]
, 2020 As members of the plant microbiota, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycotina) symbiotically colonize plant roots. AMF also possess their own microbiota, hosting some uncultivable endobacteria.

Research Progress of Cold Plasma-induced Inactivation of Bacterial Spores
Shipin gongye ke-jiSpores 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 ...

RNA Dynamics in Aging Bacterial Spores [PDF]
Cell, 2012 Upon starvation, the bacterium Bacillus subtilis enters the process of sporulation, lasting several hours and culminating in formation of a spore, the most resilient cell type known. We show that a few days following sporulation, the RNA profile of spores is highly dynamic.

Electrochemical potential enables dormant spores to integrate environmental signals
Science, 2022 The dormant state of bacterial spores is generally thought to be devoid of biological activity. We show that despite continued dormancy, spores can integrate environmental signals over time through a preexisting electrochemical potential.

Quantitative and Sensitive RNA Based Detection of Bacillus Spores
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 The fast and reliable detection of bacterial spores is of great importance and still remains a challenge. Here we describe a direct RNA based diagnostic method for the specific detection of viable bacterial spores which does not depends on an enzymatic ...
