The oral administration of non-toxigenic strains of Clostridioides difficile (NTCD) is currently showing promising results for the prevention of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in humans and animals, and is being considered as a possible com...
Growth/no growth boundary models for Bacillus spores that accounted for the effects of environmental pH, water activity (a), acetic acid, lactic acid, bacterial strain, and storage period were developed using conventional logistic regression and mach...
Temperatures encountered in cannery allow growth of thermophilic spore-forming bacteria, including the strictly anaerobe Moorella thermoacetica, which grows optimally from 55 °C to 65 °C and is the main cause of spoilage of low-acid canned foods (LAC...
In the present study, a new strain of Lactobacillus brevis producing d-tagatose was isolated and identified. Then, the l-arabinose isomerase (L-AI) of this strain was displayed on the spore surface of Bacillus subtilis DB403 by using an anchoring pro...
Establishing early warning systems for anthrax attacks is crucial in biodefense. Despite numerous studies for decades, the limited sensitivity of conventional biochemical methods essentially requires preprocessing steps and thus has limitations to be...
Spores of bacteria are metabolically dormant, resistant to microbicides, and vectors of food spoilage and diseases and survive for years in their dormant state. Upon exposure to nutrient germinants, spores can rapidly return to life through germinati...
