In B. subtilis, the sporulation programme is initiated in response to various extracellular and intracellular signals. The signals are sensed by a phosphorelay system comprising five sensory histidine ...

Scientists have long searched for the answer to the question of how bacteria decide to cease normal function and form a spore, which in essence means death for the microbe. Bioengineering researchers ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The initial sporulation time of Penicillium notatum Westling grown in shaken submerged culture inoculated with spores or vegetative mycelia is ...

When it comes to changing their passwords, bacteria are just as bad as you and me -- maybe even worse. A research team has found that despite 2.7 billion years of evolution, bacteria are still using ...

Monitored changes in the number of copies of a gene during DNA replication control the timing of sporulation in bacteria. This discovery links replication to the concept that a gene's location on a ...

Bacteria can generally be divided into two classes: those with just one membrane and those with two. Now researchers have used a powerful imaging technique to find what they believe may be the missing ...

Two time-course experiments were conducted to investigate the relationship between colonization and sporulation by Scutellospora calospora (Nicol. & Gerd.) Walker & Sanders colonizing roots of ...

Streptomyces are soil-dwelling bacteria that produce approximately two-thirds of the antibiotics in current clinical use. The production of these antibiotics - used by the bacteria to fend off rivals ...

“When nutrients are lacking, yeast must stop expending the energy it takes to divide. To survive, they either enter a non-dividing, quiescent state, or they differentiate into spores,” stated Dr.

When it comes to changing their passwords, bacteria are just as bad as you and me -- maybe even worse. A Carnegie Mellon University research team has found that despite 2.7 billion years of evolution, ...

PASADENA, Calif.—Bacteria can generally be divided into two classes: those with just one membrane and those with two. Now researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have used a ...
