Surface Characteristics of Bacillus Spores
Rapid isolation and identification of spores from various environmental samples is necessitated because anthrax spores can be used as biological weapons. The hydrophobic nature of spores may allow for their rapid concentration and partial purification from contaminating materials. In this study, …

Identification and Analysis of Germination-Active Proteins in Bacillus Spores
… the causative agents of severe disease, such as Bacillus anthracis and anthrax. In these cases, the spore often acts as the infectious agent. Spores boast extreme resistance to chemical and UV damage among other bactericidal conditions. This is problematic due to the difficulty and economic costs …

Structural and functional insights to Bacillus spore germination and toxin engineering for sustainable agriculture
Bacillus spores exhibit extraordinary resilience, surviving extreme environmental conditions through dormancy and reactivating under favourable conditions via germination. Germination is triggered by specific environmental signals detected by germinant receptors, initiating a cascade of events that …

Molecular analyses of YhcN/YlaJ and spore-associated proteins involved in germination of Bacillus cereus spores
Bacterial spores formed by members of the Bacillales are notable for their properties of dormancy and resistance to a range of physicochemical and biological factors that would kill their vegetative cellular counterparts. Bacillus cereus is one such spore-forming organism, and is a significant …
