Detection of Bacterial Endospores in Soil by Terbium Fluorescence
International Journal of Microbiology, 2011 Spore formation is a survival mechanism of microorganisms when facing unfavorable environmental conditions resulting in “dormant” states. We investigated the occurrence of bacterial endospores in soils from various locations including grasslands (pasture,

Distribution of bacterial spores in supermarkets
Hygiene and sanitation, 2019 This work presents results of the study on the environment prevalence of spores of aerobic bacteria, which are of potential danger to human health. The investigation of swabs from handles of supermarket trolleys revealed on their surface the presence of a large number of spores of unrelated pathogenic bacteria carrying as antibiotic resistance genes ...

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.

Homeostasis of Gut Microbiota Protects against Susceptibility to Fungal Pneumonia
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Fungal pneumonia induces inflammation, shown by heightened IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α levels and a growth in Staphylococcus in the alveolar flora. The gut microbiota, acting through the gut‐lung axis via blood, impacts fungal pneumonia susceptibility by altering lung metabolism and inflammatory responses.

A Stochastic Intracellular Model of Anthrax Infection With Spore Germination Heterogeneity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 We present a stochastic mathematical model of the intracellular infection dynamics of Bacillus anthracis in macrophages. Following inhalation of B. anthracis spores, these are ingested by alveolar phagocytes.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The NLR protein PibH8 interacts with phenylalanine ammonia‐lyase OsPAL1 and E3 ubiquitin ligase OsFBK16. Through competitive binding, PibH8 weakens the interaction between OsFBK16 and OsPAL1, thereby reducing the degradation of OsPAL1 by OsFBK16. The Hap1 allele of PibH8 exhibits a higher expression level than Hap2, thus accumulating more PibH8 protein,

Foods, 2020 Bacterial spores are of concern to the food industry due to their ability to survive processing and their potential to subsequently germinate and grow in food. In this paper, two strains belonging to the genus Bacillus (B.

Inhibition of RNase to Attenuate Fungal‐Manipulated Rhizosphere Microbiome and Diseases
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Fusarium graminearum uses its virulence effector Fg12, a fungal RNase, to manipulate the host rhizosphere microbiome and promote infection. Guanosine monophosphate (GMP) blocks Fg12's RNase activity. This reveals a key pathogen‐microbiota interaction mechanism and proposes GMP as a targeted strategy to disarm this core fungal effector, offering a ...

The use of germinants to potentiate the sensitivity of Bacillus anthracis spores to peracetic acid
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Elimination of Bacillus anthracis spores from the environment is a difficult and costly process due in part to the toxicity of current sporicidal agents.
