A revised stratigraphy for the Palaeocene Agatdalen flora (Nuussuaq Peninsula, western Greenland): correlating fossiliferous outcrops, macrofossils, and palynological samples from phosphoritic nodules

Acta Palaeobotanica, 2016
The Cretaceous and Palaeogene floras of western Greenland that were initially described as part of the classical work “Flora fossilis arctica” by Oswald Heer in the 19th century are currently under revision.

Clostridium difficile Spore-Macrophage Interactions: Spore Survival

PLoS ONE, 2012
Clostridium difficile is the main cause of nosocomial infections including antibiotic associated diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis and toxic megacolon. During the course of Clostridium difficile infections (CDI), C. difficile undergoes sporulation and releases spores to the colonic environment.

Sporormiella as a tool for detecting the presence of large herbivores in the Neotropics [PDF]

, 2016
The reliability of using the abundance of Sporormiella spores as a proxy for the presence and abundance of megaherbivores was tested in southern Brazil. Mud-water interface samples from nine lakes, in which cattle-use was categorized as high, medium, or ...

Germination of Spores of the Orders Bacillales and Clostridiales.

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2017
Dormant Bacillales and Clostridiales spores begin to grow when small molecules (germinants) trigger germination, potentially leading to food spoilage or disease.

Perturbing Tandem Energy Transfer in Luminescent Heterobinuclear Lanthanide Coordination Polymer Nanoparticles Enables Real-Time Monitoring of Release of the Anthrax Biomarker from Bacterial Spores.

Analytical Chemistry, 2018
Lanthanide-based luminescent sensors have been widely used for the detection of the anthrax biomarker dipicolinic acid (DPA). However, mainly based on DPA sensitization to the lanthanide core, most of them failed to realize robust detection of DPA in ...

Bacteriocins: Novel Solutions to Age Old Spore-Related Problems? [PDF]

, 2016
peer-reviewedBacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, which have the ability to kill or inhibit other bacteria. Many bacteriocins are produced by food grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

Co‐purification of nitrate reductase 1 with components of the cytochrome bcc‐aa3 oxidase supercomplex from spores of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2)

FEBS Open Bio, 2021
In order to reduce nitrate in vivo, the spore‐specific respiratory nitrate reductase, Nar1, of Streptomyces coelicolor relies on an active cytochrome bcc‐aa3 oxidase supercomplex (bcc‐aa3 supercomplex).

Inactivation Effect of Thymoquinone on Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris Vegetative Cells, Spores, and Biofilms

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris (A. acidoterrestris), a spore-forming bacterium, has become a main challenge and concern for the juices and acid beverage industry across the world due to its thermo-acidophilic characteristic. Thymoquinone (TQ) is one of

Spores and Spore Formers

, 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
