SpoIVFB plays a critical role in sporulation -- a process that allows bacteria to withstand extreme environments. With attempts to capture SpoIVFB's structure proving challenging over the years ...

Notably, SpoIVFB plays a critical role in sporulation—a process that allows bacteria to survive harsh conditions such as radiation, heat and even the vacuum of space. With attempts to capture ...

As they grow, they can undergo "sporulation," where they release tiny spores that are dispersed on air currents. These spores ...

More targeted spraying and reduced plant loss are some of the early benefits being reported by nursery owners using a new weekly disease risk forecast service launched by industry body New Zealand ...

These results indicate that acoustic stimulation influences plant growth-promoting fungal growth and potentially facilitates ...

GTPase protein named after its association with SpoO sporulation factor of Bacillus; RecA, Recombinase A; RecBCD, Recombinase ...

A striking example of the specialization of sigma factors for different gene promoters is provided by bacterial sporulation in the species Bacillus subtilis. This bacterium exists in two states ...

Crucially, the regulation of chemical production is intimately linked to that of sporulation. Spores of benign species may also be used as a delivery system for treating cancer. This is because ...

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a soil bacterium which produces proteinaceous inclusion bodies during sporulation. The inclusion bodies contain genetically encoded insecticidal proteins with very ...

Her doctoral dissertation and resulting publications explored the intercellular signaling that occurs in the myxobacteria as they undergo fruiting body formation and sporulation. As a post-doctoral ...
