Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore-Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)While the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii can evade insect humoral immunity, its subversion of cellular defenses is still elusive. We identify Eac1 as a spore‐coat protein essential for infecting drosophilids by targeting atypical mucins (Sgf1 and Sgf2), which can entrap spores in a gel matrix and thereby facilitate hemocyte encapsulation.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Most bacteria can, at least to some degree, hunker down during periods of stress and wait for good times to return. No cells, however, do this as effectively as those Bacilli and Clostridia that form spores. Dormant cells produced by these bacteria can survive most environmental challenges found on earth and even a few in outer space and can remain ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2015 ABSTRACT Bacterial endospores possess multiple integument layers, one of which is the cortex peptidoglycan wall. The cortex is essential for the maintenance of spore core dehydration and dormancy and contains structural modifications that differentiate it from vegetative cell peptidoglycan and determine its fate during spore ...

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,

Transcriptional analysis of temporal gene expression in germinating Clostridium difficile 630 endospores. [PDF]
, 2013 Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of hospital acquired diarrhoea in industrialised countries. Under conditions that are not favourable for growth, the pathogen produces metabolically dormant endospores via asymmetric cell division.

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 ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2016 ABSTRACT Spores of Clostridiales and Bacillales are encased in a complex series of concentric shells that provide protection, facilitate germination, and mediate interactions with the environment.

, 2017 Bacterial spore formers have been the focus of intense study for almost half a century centered primarily on Bacillus subtilis. This research has given us a detailed picture of the genetic, physiological and biochemical mechanisms that allow bacteria to survive harsh environmental conditions by forming highly robust spores. Although, many basic aspects
