Spore formation occurs in a sporangium, which consists of a mother cell that contains an inner cell (forespore) that eventually forms the mature spore. Spore-coat components are synthesized inside ...

The reanimated bacteria proceeded to start secreting lipase BC again, completely degrading the plastic within six to seven days. The spores could also be revived by composting the plastic.

The scientists were able to create a type of living plastic that contains bacteria spores. The spores are inactive while the containers are being used. However, when the material needs to be ...

The world has produced over nine billion tons of plastic since the 1950s, with another 400 million tons added each year.

Our Clostridium botulinum research funded by several competitive grants from European and national sources and forms two major research lines: Fundamental research questions focus on environmental, ...

Journal of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society, Vol. 42, No. 3/4 (May, 1927), pp. 227-242 (23 pages) This item is openly available as part of an Open JSTOR ...

By repeatedly exposing the spores to increasing levels of heat, the team of researchers behind this new work found that the bacteria could eventually cope with the temperatures of 135 degrees ...

Current projects fall under the following main headings: Structure and assembly of large protein complexes at two dimensional interfaces- bacterial spore assembly, bacterial cell surfaces, ...

One classical example is the formation of spores that are resilient to dryness, high temperatures and high pressure (similar conditions in plastics processing). Using synthetic biology ...

However, researchers at the University of Plymouth claim it does not work against the spores of Clostridioides difficile (C. diff). This is a bacteria which infects millions of people globally ...
