Bacterial Geosmin Biosynthesis is Compartmentalized Inside a Two‐Component Protein Shell

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports the discovery that geosmin biosynthesis is compartmentalized inside a two‐component protein shell in many bacteria. Sequestration of geosmin synthase inside a Family 2B encapsulin nanocompartment improves geosmin yield and increases enzyme stability as compared to the free enzyme.

Living Electronics: Microbial Metabolism as Batteries, Resistors, and Capacitors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Three microorganisms are assigned the three elementary roles of a circuit on one sheet of paper. Dormant Bacillus subtilis spores germinate to switch the power source on; a photosynthetic Synechocystis biofilm sets resistance by the color and intensity of light; and a respiring Shewanella oneidensis biofilm stores charge. Together they form a printable

Bacterial Spore Antigens: a Review [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1962
SUMMARY: Agglutinogens and precipitinogens have been detected in the spores of many species of aerobic and anaerobic spore-formers and these antigens are distinct from those of the vegetative growth phases of the corresponding organisms. Spore antigens are heat resistant and antibody response is elicited by the injection of autoclaved spores into ...
