Acquisition and Retention of Bacterial Spores (Bacillus Atrophaeus) by Eight Insect Species
Acquisition and retention of spores of an anthrax surrogate, Bacillus atrophaeus Nakamura ("BG") were evaluated in eight insect species. Species included: house cricket (Acheta domesticus L.), German cockroach (Blatella germanica L.), common house fly (Musca domestics L.), blue bottle fly …

Selective microorganism concentration using a dielectrophoresis-based microfabricated device
… This work presents a method of separating bacterial spores from typical air contaminants such as sand or soot by means of dielectrophoresis. Spores of B. subtilis as well as model airborne interferents are characterized electrically; based on their properties, schemes of their electrical …

A comparison of the pathological effects on the midgut of the European corn borer treated with Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus subtilis
… study was to compare the pathology caused by two bacterial species, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus thuringiensis, in European corn borer larvae. The study consisted of: (1) a determination of the mortality of larvae that had ingested various concentrations of bacterial spores; (2) light …

Antimicrobial Materials for Water Disinfection Based on Visible-Light Photocatalysts
… were studied in the inactivation of bacteria and bacterial spores in water. Fast killing rate was obtained for the inactivation of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and B. subtilis endospores. The results of mechanistic study provided evidence of oxidative damages, and indicated that hydroxyl …

Spore-forming bacteria as pharmaceutical factories
Many Bacilli form dormant structures, spores, which routinely survive physical, chemical and biological challenge. How do spores encapsulate their contents, and could it be possible to mimic or adapt them to make better drug products? Key spore component 2,6-dipicolinic acid (DPA) is necessary for …

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 …

Bridging the Modeling-Sampling Gap for Mid-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy of Small Particles, Films, and Fibers
… of the mid-infrared (MIR) absorbance of bacterial spores was determined. Linear relationships (R<sup>2</sup> ≥ 0.99) were observed between the concentrations of spores and the baseline corrected peak absorbance for the amide absorbance regions, at coverages of less than 1 monolayer. …

UV Laser and LED Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Detection of Trace Amounts of Organics in Drinking Water and Water Sources
… international drinking water, industrial toxins, bacterial spores, as well as several fluorescence standards. Of importance was that the long term detection of the trace level of Dissolved Organic Compounds (DOC) was measured, for the first time to our knowledge, over a one week period and with a …

Generation of Biomarkers from Anthrax Spores by Catalysis and Analytical Pyrolysis
Anthrax spores, in weaponized form, are dangerous biological warfare agents. Handheld technology for the rapid detection of anthrax is greatly needed to improve national security. Methods to detect anthrax spores are diverse, with most taking at least an hour for positive identification. A viable …

Factors Affecting the Heat Resistance of Clostridium perfringens Spores
… is obtained and maintained by C. perfringens spores. In this work we study the spores and sporulation process of C. perfringens to determine what factors are most important in the formation of a heat resistant spore. We analyzed the spores produced by nine wild-type strains, including five …

Development of methods for the detection of chemical and biological warfare agents
… of identifying biological signatures of bacterial spores. It was found that size separation permitted a more rapid determination by SEM to confirm the presence of spores, but did not enhance the ability of Raman to identify the spores. Ultimately, results from these analyses can be used …
