DOI: 10.1016/j.lwt.2019.108473
Abstract: Abstract Because of the hydrophobicity and formation of biofilm, Bacillus cereus spores are highly resistant and widespread in food industry. The outermost layer: exosporium of Bacillus cereus spore plays an important role in its surface… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/lam.13811
Abstract: Clostridioides difficile spores were previously demonstrated to survive industrial laundering. Understanding interactions between heat, disinfectants and soiling (e.g. bodily fluids) affecting C. difficile spore survival could inform the optimization of healthcare laundry processes. Reducing spore… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jb.00290-22
Abstract: The genus Bacillus consists of spore-forming bacteria. Some species of this genus, especially those that are pathogens of animals or insects, contain an outermost spore layer called the exosporium. The zoonotic pathogen B. anthracis is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.01166-18
Abstract: This work dramatically improves our understanding of the assembly of the outermost layer of the B. anthracis spore, the exosporium, a layer that encases spores from many bacterial species and likely plays important roles in… read more here.
