The Bacillus cereus group includes several Bacillus species with closely related phylogeny.
The most well-studied members of the group, B. anthracis, B. cereus, and B. thuringiensis …

Background: Open Access Editor's Choice Review The Food Poisoning Toxins of Bacillus
cereus by Richard Dietrich 1,†, Nadja Jessberger 1,*,†, Monika Ehling-Schulz 2, Erwin …

Bacillus cereus is widespread in nature and frequently isolated from soil and growing plants,
but it is also well adapted for growth in the intestinal tract of insects and mammals. From …

Bacteria live in environments that are subject to rapid changes in the availability of the
nutrients that are necessary to provide energy and biosynthetic intermediates for the …

Multiple heavy metal contamination is an increasingly common global problem. Heavy
metals have the potential to disrupt microbially mediated biogeochemical cycling. However …

The Bacillus cereus sensu lato group contains diverse Gram-positive spore-forming bacteria
that can cause gastrointestinal diseases and severe eye infections in humans. They have …

The Bacillus subtilis ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein mediates the iron-dependent
repression of at least 20 operons encoding∼ 40 genes. We investigated the physiological …

Regulation of iron uptake and utilization is critical for bacterial growth and for prevention of
iron toxicity. In many bacterial species, this regulation depends on the iron-responsive …

Insects are the largest group of animals on earth. Like mammals, virus, fungi, bacteria and
parasites infect them. Several tissue barriers and defense mechanisms are common for …

The use of non‐human animal models for infection experiments is important for investigating
the infectious processes of human pathogenic bacteria at the molecular level. Mammals …
