How might a microbial cell that is entirely metabolically dormant–and which has the ability to
remain so for extended periods of time–irreversibly commit itself to resuming vegetative …

Bacterial spores are highly resilient and universally present on earth and can irreversibly
enter the food chain to cause food spoilage or foodborne illness once revived to resume …

Bacterial spores are metabolically inactive and highly resistant to harsh environmental
conditions in nature and during decontamination processes in food and related industries …

Salt stress can affect survival, multiplication and ability of plant growth promoting
microorganisms to enhance plant growth. Changes in a microbe's proteome profile is one of …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive soil bacterium that belongs to the
phylum Firmicutes and the genus Bacillus. It is a spore-forming bacterium. During …

Among members of the Bacillales order, there are several species capable of forming a
structure called an endospore. Endospores enable bacteria to survive under unfavourable …

As alternatives to antibiotics in feed, probiotic Bacillus carries multiple advantages in animal
production. Spores undergo strain-related germination in the gastrointestinal tract, but it is …

Spores of the bacterium Bacillus cereus can cause disease in humans due to contamination
of raw materials for food manufacturing. These dormant, resistant spores can survive for …

The exosporium is the outermost spore layer of some Bacillus and Clostridium species and
related organisms. It mediates the interactions of spores with their environment, modulates …

Bacillus cereus can survive in the form of spores for prolonged periods posing a serious
problem for the manufacture of safe shelf-stable foods of optimal quality. Our study aims at …
