The resistance properties of the bacterial spores are partially due to spore surface proteins, ~30% of which are said to form an insoluble protein fraction. Previous research has also identified a group of spore coat proteins affected by spore maturation, which exhibit an increased level of inter pr...
Summary
To facilitate more accurate spore proteomic analysis, the current study focuses on inducing homogeneous sporulation by overexpressing kinA and assesses the effect of sporulation synchronization on spore resistance, structures, the germination behavior at single-spore level and the proteome. ...
Description
Bacillus subtilis forms highly resistant, metabolically inactive spores upon nutrient limitation. These endospores pose challenges to the food and medical sectors. Spores reactivate their metabolism upon contact with germinants through germination and outgrowth, and then develop into ve...
Whole-genome transcriptional response of S. cerevisiae to an increase in temperature from 28M-BM-0C to 41M-BM-0C under well-controlled conditions. Two subsequent phases of response with very different dynamics: a short term response for the first hour after the temperature increase and a long term ...
The advent of M-bM-^@M-^XomicsM-bM-^@M-^Y techniques bear significant potential for the assessment of the microbiological stability of foods. This requires the integration of molecular data with their implication for cellular physiology. Here we performed a comparative physiological and transcriptio...
Bacterial endospores (spores) are among the most resistant living forms on earth. Spores of Bacillus subtilis A163 show extremely high resistance to wet heat compared to spores of laboratory strains. In this study, we found that spores of B. subtilis A163 were indeed very wet heat resistant and rele...
Bacillus subtilis vegetative cells switch to sporulation upon nutrient limitation. To investigate the proteome changeover during sporulation, a time-lapse proteomic analysis was performed in a cell population that was induced to sporulate synchronously. Here, we are the first to comprehensively inve...
Spores of the bacterium Bacillus cereus can cause disease in humans due to contamination of raw materials for food manufacturing. These dormant, resistant spores can survive for years in the environment, but can germinate and grow when their surroundings become suitable, and spore germination protei...
This study aimed to obtain a holistic view of remission in pediatric Crohn’s Disease (CD) by integrating six omics datasets from three anatomical compartments.
Methods
Patients with fecal calprotectin below 250 mg/kg were c...
