diseases. Its omnipresence in different environments, spore formation, and its ability to adapt …

Quorum sensing is a process of cell–cell communication that allows bacteria to share
information about cell density and adjust gene expression accordingly. This process …

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 …

Bacillus cereus displays a high diversity of lifestyles and ecological niches and include
