UV Disinfection sensitivity index of spores or protozoa: A model to predict the required fluence of spores or protozoa

, 2022
During UV disinfection, the required UV dose in terms of fluence depends upon the species of bacteria spore and protozoa. To rank their UV disinfection sensitivity, spore sensitivity index (SPSI) and protozoan sensitivity index (PSI) are defined.

Spore Germination

Microbiology Spectrum, 2015
ABSTRACT Despite being resistant to a variety of environmental insults, the bacterial endospore can sense the presence of small molecules and respond by germinating, losing the specialized structures of the dormant spore, and resuming active metabolism, before outgrowing into vegetative cells.

The triterpenoid curcumene mediates the relative hydrophilicity of Bacillus subtilis spores

mBio
Spores of Bacillus subtilis are surrounded and protected by the coat and the crust, multi-layered structures mainly made of proteins and polysaccharides.

An investigation into the effects of a simulated human gastro-intestinal tract has on Bacillus cereus and Bacillus weihenstephanensis viability and pathogenicity [PDF]

, 2012
Bacillus cereus is one of the known causes of diarrhoeal food poisoning. In their natural environment of soil surviving as spores facilitates their colonisation of raw food ingredients enabling their access to the food chain.

Rapid, Point-of-Care Microwave Lysis and Electrochemical Detection of Clostridioides difficile Directly from Stool Samples

Bioengineering
The rapid detection of the spore form of Clostridioides difficile has remained a challenge for clinicians. To address this, we have developed a novel, precise, microwave-enhanced approach for near-spontaneous release of DNA from C. difficile spores via a

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).
