Understanding the Function of SpoIIIL during Spore Development
… in Bacillus subtilis is an alternative developmental pathway that encompasses several complex cellular events involving hundreds of genes many of which have poorly understood functions. The focus of this project was to unravel the functions of SpoIIIL, a recently discovered 59 amino …

ULTRASTRUCTURE, IMMUNOCYTOCHEMISTRY, AND BIOINFORMATICS OF SPORE DEVELOPMENT IN THE MOSS PHYSCOMITRELLA AND THE HORNWORT DENDROCEROS
Spores are single-celled dispersal units surrounded by a wall of the highly resistant biopolymer sporopollenin. All land plants produce spores. Spore development is described in <italic>Physcomitrella patens</italic>, a moss with single-celled spores, and <italic>Dendroceros</italic>, a hornwort …

Studies on Clostridium acetobutylicum P262 : sporulation induction and analysis of an oligosporogenous, solvent-deficient mutant
… conditions. The heat resistance of mature spores was determined and the optlmal temperature for spore quantification was shown to be 75·C. acetobutylicum mutants m5 06 were by transposon mutagenesis using the conjugative transposon Tn925::Tn917, not transposon Tn925 as previously thought …

Preserving spore dormancy
… conditions by forming dormant, resistant endospores that later resume growth through germination. Because germination abolishes spore resistance, developing spores must avoid responding to germinants too early. This thesis examines how sporulating bacteria prevent premature germination during …

Basidiosporogenesis and developmental anatomy of spore release in the Russulales: a systematic interpretation
… statismosporic, agaricoid and gasteroid taxa. Spore symmetry and ability to forcibly discharge spores are therefore fundamental systematic characteristics in the Russulales. Ballistosporic and statismosporic basidiosporogenesis however, has not been critically compared. Early and late …

Nanoelectroporation of single cell plants
There has been significant interest in the development of recombinant proteins as novel catalysts for green chemistry, diagnostics for integration into biosensors and therapeutic agents such as nanobodies. However, the application of these reagents is hindered by the lack of production capacity. …

Investigation of the roles of a membrane-bound caleosin in higher plants
… also play a role in various aspects of fungal spore development including sporulation and a role in cuticle synthesis. As such, Clo-3 in Arabidopsis and<br/>possibly similar caleosins in other species might play roles in oxylipin signalling pathways that are involved in a protective role during …
