Biofilm formation is a process in which microbial cells aggregate to form collectives that are
embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix. Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive …

Background Iron is an essential element for both plant productivity and nutritional quality.
Improving plant iron content was attempted through genetic engineering of plants …

Gene arrays containing all currently known open reading frames of Bacillus subtilis were
used to examine the general stress response of Bacillus. By proteomics, transcriptional …

Bacteria encounter reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a consequence of the aerobic life or
as an oxidative burst of activated neutrophils during infections. In addition, bacteria are …

One of the strongest and most noticeable responses of a Bacillus subtilis cell to a range of
stress and starvation conditions is the dramatic induction of a large number of general stress …

To determine the contribution of sigma B (ςB) to survival of stationary-phase Listeria
monocytogenes cells following exposure to environmental stresses, we compared the …

Bacteria respond to diverse growth‐limiting stresses by producing a large set of general
stress proteins. In Bacillus subtilis and related Gram‐positive pathogens, this response is …

The phosphate starvation response in Bacillus subtilis was analyzed using two-dimensional
(2D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of cell extracts and supernatants from phosphate …

Bacillus subtilis can form various types of spatially organised communities on surfaces, such
as colonies, pellicles and submerged biofilms. These communities share similarities and …

Bacillus subtilis displays a complex adaptive response to the presence of reactive oxygen
species. To date, most proteins that protect against reactive oxygen species are members of …
