The Molecular Timeline of a Reviving Bacterial Spore [PDF]

Molecular Cell, 2015
The bacterial spore can rapidly convert from a dormant to a fully active cell. Here we study this remarkable cellular transition in Bacillus subtilis and reveal the identity of the newly synthesized proteins throughout spore revival. Our analysis uncovers a highly ordered developmental program that correlates with the spore morphological changes and ...

Gene Editing of a Susceptibility LncRNA Enhances Broad‐Spectrum Disease Resistance in Rice without Developmental Trade‐Offs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Editing susceptibility lncRNAs offers a strategy to enhance disease resistance without yield loss. RESIS, a domestication‐acquired, pathogen‐induced lncRNA, promotes protein N‐terminal acetylation through its interaction with NatA complex. Knockout of RESIS increases translation and confers broad‐spectrum resistance to both fungal and bacterial ...

Molecular Kinetics of Reviving Bacterial Spores [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2013
ABSTRACT Bacterial spores can remain dormant for years, yet they possess a remarkable potential to rapidly resume a vegetative life form. Here, we identified a distinct phase at the onset of spore outgrowth, designated the ripening period.

MoMtg1 Acts as a Novel Transcriptional Repressor of MoSwi6 During Appressorium‐Mediated Penetration in the Rice Blast Fungus

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Appressoria are specialized penetration structures for many plant pathogenic fungi, demanding precise cell cycle control. This study unveils MoMtg1 as a transcriptional repressor of MoSwi6, orchestrating MoCYC1 expression during turgor‐driven cell cycle progression to enable appressorium‐mediated penetration. Moreover, a small‐molecule inhibitor ZS1619

The Enumeration of Heated Bacterial Spores [PDF]

Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1950
Experiments with 13 strains of Bacillus isolated from canned foods haveshown that, like Clostridium species, the germination of heated spores is affectedby inhibitors present in the media. As with Clostridium species, susceptibilityto inhibitors increases with the amount of heating to which the spores are exposed.The Bacillus strains, however, show ...

Model‐Guided Systematic Metabolic Engineering for Enhanced Spinosad Biosynthesis in Saccharopolyspora spinosa NHF132

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A genome‐scale model guided the systematic metabolic engineering of Saccharopolyspora spinosa, enabling a 5.5‐fold boost in the green bioinsecticide spinosad to 1.8 g L−1 and establishing an actinomycete framework for complex natural products overproduction.

Structural Characterization of Clostridium sordellii Spores of Diverse Human, Animal, and Environmental Origin and Comparison to Clostridium difficile Spores

mSphere, 2017
Clostridium sordellii is an often-lethal bacterium causing human and animal disease. Crucial to the infectious cycle of C. sordellii is its ability to produce spores, which can germinate into toxin-producing vegetative bacteria under favorable conditions.
