DNA Damage Kills Bacterial Spores and Cells Exposed to 222-Nanometer UV Radiation

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020
Spores of a variety of bacteria are resistant to common decontamination agents, and many of them are major causes of food spoilage and some serious human diseases, including anthrax caused by spores of Bacillus anthracis.

Spores-on-a-chip: new frontiers for spore research

Trends in Microbiology, 2022
In recent years, microfluidic technologies have become widespread in biological science. However, the suitability of this technique for understanding different aspects of spore research has hardly been considered. Herein, we review recent developments in 'spores-on-a-chip' technologies, highlighting how they could be exploited to drive new frontiers in

Characterization of Lung Inflammatory Response to Aspergillus fumigatus Spores

Journal of Fungi, 2023
The airway exposure to Aspergillus fumigatus spores (AFsp) is associated with an inflammatory response, potentially leading to allergic and/or chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. The aim of our study is to better understand the host response, first in vitro,

Spore Evidence for the Origin of Isoetalean Lycopsids?

Life, 2023
A new hypothesis about the origin of isoetalean lycopsids was proposed based on palynological data. The occurrence of three apical papillae on the proximal surfaces of miospores is a significant palynological feature that is clearly defined in both ...
