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.

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

Comparative analysis of Bacillus weihenstephanensis KBAB4 spores obtained at different temperatures [PDF]

The impact of Bacillus weihenstephanensis KBAB4 sporulation temperature history was assessed on spore heat resistance, germination and outgrowth capacity at a temperature range from 7 to 30 °C. Sporulation rate and efficiency decreased at low temperature,
