Temperature impacts the sporulation capacities and spore resistance of Moorella thermoacetica.

Food microbiology
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...

Enhanced d-tagatose production by spore surface-displayed l-arabinose isomerase from isolated Lactobacillus brevis PC16 and biotransformation.

Bioresource technology
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...

Holographic deep learning for rapid optical screening of anthrax spores.

Science advances
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...

Modeling heterogeneity, commitment, and memory of bacterial spore germination.

mBio
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...
