Exosporium Morphogenesis in Bacillus Cereus and Bacillus Anthracis
… state, starts the infection process. Thus, the exosporium, which constitutes the surface of the spore, plays an important role during natural infection of both B. cereus and B. anthracis. Proteins from the exosporium of B. cereus ATCC 4342, a B. anthracis-like strain, were extracted with 2% …

Interaction of Bacillus Anthracis Exosporium Protein Bcla With Complement Factor H and Spore Persistence In The Lung
… of <em>B. anthracis</em> are enclosed by an exosporium, which consists of a basal layer surrounded by a nap of hair-like filaments. The major structural component of the filaments is called <em>Bacillus</em> collagen-like protein of <em>anthracis </em>(BclA), which comprises a central …

Morphogenesis of the Bacillus Anthracis Spore
… the cortex, a proteinaceous coat and (flexible) exosporium, the latter of which is studded with collagen-like fibers made up of both proteins and glycoproteins. About 80 proteins make up the coat and exosporium. Only about nine or ten of these proteins control the deposition and assembly of all …

Functionalization of phage endolysins to treat infections of spore-forming Clostridia bacteria in the era of antibiotic resistance
… contrast and TEM imaging. Over 3,000 coat and exosporium proteins were identified in *Clostridia* species, and TEM showed that *Clostridioides difficile* 630 and *Clostridium perfringens* SM101 both possess an exosporium like that of *Clostridium sporogenes*. Then, phage were induced and …

Polypeptide (dis)assembly in bacterial spores and microalgae
… species with certain outer layers, such as the exosporium, that are not present in B. subtilis. It is the interaction between different proteins that gives the bacterial spore coat its properties, necessitating the use of AlphaFold-multimer to evaluate the presence of protein complexes. An …

Phylogenetic Studies of Pasteuria penetrans Looking at the Evolutionary History of Housekeeping Genes and Collagen-like Motif Sequences.
Pasteuria penetrans, a gram-positive, endospore-forming eubacterium, is an obligate parasite of the root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp. These nematodes are common root pests of economically important crop plants, making P. penetrans a potential biocontrol agent. Currently, the genome of the …
