Petrobactin Protects against Oxidative Stress and Enhances Sporulation Efficiency in Bacillus anthracis Sterne

mBio, 2018
Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive bacillus that under conditions of environmental stress, such as low nutrients, can convert from a vegetative bacillus to a highly durable spore that enables long-term survival. The sporulation process is regulated by

Which morphological characteristics are most influenced by the host matrix in downy mildews? : A case study in Pseudoperonospora cubensis [PDF]

, 2012
Before the advent of molecular phylogenetics, species concepts in the downy mildews, an economically important group of obligate biotrophic oomycete pathogens, have mostly been based upon host range and morphology.

Inducible Expression of spo0A as a Universal Tool for Studying Sporulation in Clostridium difficile

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Clostridium difficile remains a leading nosocomial pathogen, putting considerable strain on the healthcare system. The ability to form endospores, highly resistant to environmental insults, is key to its persistence and transmission.

A Dual Role for the Bacillus anthracis Master Virulence Regulator AtxA: Control of Sporulation and Anthrax Toxin Production

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Bacillus anthracis is an endemic soil bacterium that exhibits two different lifestyles. In the soil environment, B. anthracis undergoes a cycle of saprophytic growth, sporulation, and germination.

Impact of deoxycholate on Clostridioides difficile growth, toxin production, and sporulation

Heliyon, 2020
Purpose: Bile acids play an important role in Clostridioides difficile life cycle. Deoxycholate (DCA), one of the most abundant secondary bile acids, is known to inhibit vegetative growth and toxin production.
