Soil pH Amelioration Synergizes Carbon Accrual with Yield Gains Under Organic Substitution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Soil pH shifts towards neutrality in both acidic and alkaline soils under organic substitution. A global synthesis links pH amelioration to soil organic carbon accrual through enhanced microbial biomass after accounting for added organic carbon and its interaction with pH. This pH amelioration‐shared soil organic carbon accrual accounts for 5.1–8.6% of

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.

Antigen-displaying probiotic Bacillus subtilis spores induce subtle, strain-dependent immunomodulation in fish

Frontiers in Marine Science
Despite the availability of commercial vaccines against several pathogens, infectious diseases continue to cause substantial economic losses in aquaculture.

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,

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.

Blocking Honeybee Preference for Neonicotinoids by Interfering With Dopamine Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) paradoxically prefer nectar containing the harmful neonicotinoid thiamethoxam. This preference is associated with transient brain dopamine elevation during proboscis extension reflex (PER) responses and active feeding, and is reduced by the dopamine receptor antagonist fluphenazine.

Beetroot-pigment-derived colorimetric sensor for detection of calcium dipicolinate in bacterial spores.

PLoS ONE, 2013
In this proof-of-concept study, we describe the use of the main red beet pigment betanin for the quantification of calcium dipicolinate in bacterial spores, including Bacillus anthracis.
