The development of alternatives to fossil fuels as an energy source is an urgent global
priority. Cellulosic biomass has the potential to contribute to meeting the demand for liquid …

Bacillus subtilis is a remarkably diverse bacterial species that is capable of growth within
many environments. Recent microarray-based comparative genomic analyses have …

The taxonomy of spore‐forming Gram‐positive bacteria has a long and colorful history. In
1872, 35 years after Christian Ehrenberg provided the initial description of Vibrio subtilis …

In classical models of radiation toxicity, DNA is the molecule that is most affected by ionizing
radiation (IR). However, recent data show that the amount of protein damage caused during …

Spore-forming bacteria are ubiquitous in nature. The resistance properties of bacterial
spores lie at the heart of their widespread occurrence in food ingredients and foods. The …

Background Enterococcus faecalis has emerged as a major hospital pathogen. To explore
its diversity, we sequenced E. faecalis strain OG1RF, which is commonly used for molecular …

Abstract Background The presence of Bacillus in very diverse environments reflects the
versatile metabolic capabilities of a widely distributed genus. Traditional phylogenetic …

Spore-forming bacteria are of particular concern in the context of planetary protection
because their tough endospores may withstand certain sterilization procedures as well as …

Ultraviolet light emitting diode (UV-LED) has attracted extensive attention as a new
