Nutrient scarcity is a common condition in nature, but the resulting extremely low growth rates (below 0.025 h-1 ) are an unexplored research area in Bacillus subtilis. To understand microbial life in natural environments, studying the adaptation of B. subtilis to near-zero growth conditions is

Journal of bacteriology.J Bacteriol.2014 Nov;196(21):3784-92. doi: 10.1128/JB.01897-14. Epub 2014 Aug 25.
Caldicellulosiruptor bescii efficiently degrades cellulose, xylan, and native grasses at high temperatures above 70°C under anaerobic conditions. C. bescii extracellularly secretes multidomain glycoside hydrolases along with proteins of unknown function. In this study, we analyzed the C. bescii pro

In this study, we sought to identify genes involved in the onset of spore formation in Clostridium thermocellum via targeted gene deletions, gene over-expression, and transcriptional analysis. We determined that three putative histidine kinases, clo1313_0286, clo1313_2735 and clo1313_1942 were posit

… In this mini review the metabolic pathways in several phytopathogenic fungi and the non-infectious asporogenous yeast Candida boidinii, which involve lipid droplets and peroxisomes, are summarized. …

… Electron microscopic studies with the four selected yunnanensis strains revealed that: (1) the majority of cells produced spores but not crystalline inclusions, (2) formation of crystalline inclusions was limited to the spore-lacking cells, and (3) electron-dense round bodies, much smaller than rhomboidal crystalline inclusions and putatively assigned to poly-β-hydroxybutyrate inclusions, were often observed in both spore-forming cells and inclusion-forming asporogenous cells. …
