Functionalization of phage endolysins to treat infections of spore-forming Clostridia bacteria in the era of antibiotic resistance
… not only because they form highly resistant endospores but because they produce toxins and exhibit antibiotic resistance. *Clostridioides difficile* is a nosocomial pathogen responsible for thousands of deaths every year, whereas *Clostridium perfringens* is a common cause of food poisoning and a …

Investigating proteins that influence membrane-associated germination processes in Bacillus subtilis spores
Many endospore-forming bacteria cause diseases such as anthrax and food poisoning. Spores however also contribute to various agricultural and industrial processes. Spores possess extreme resistance properties, notably to chemical, et and dry heat, desiccation, and UV damage. For pathogenic spore …

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 …

Formation of Bacterial Biofilms on Spiral Wound Reverse Osmosis Whey Concentration Membranes
… bacteria such as: total plate counts and aerobic spore formers, Lactobacillus spp., Lactococcus spp. , Coliforms and Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus , Pseudomonas spp., and β hemolytic colonies by using selective agars. The final results were presented as log cfu/cm2 The total plate counts …

Decomposition of Crop Residues
… mainly to proliferating microorganisms (aerobic spore-formers) that develop during incubation, although enzymes associated with non-living cells may make a minor contribution. Alteration of the soil microbial population by CHCl3 treatment from one dominated by fungi to one where bacteria …

Combining Conventional Tests and Terminal Restriction Fragment Analysis to Evaluate Microbial Quality of Raw Milk
… as psychrotrophic bacteria, coliform groups and spore-formers. Cow’s apparent health status showed no significant influence on the microbial quality of raw milk. </p> <p>Overall, the combination of conventional tests and TRF analysis can yield a comprehensive understanding of microbial community …
