Membrane Topology of the Bacillus subtilis Pro-ςK Processing Complex
Green, David H., Cutting, Simon M.
Activation of the final sporulation-specific transcription factor, ςK, is regulated by a signal emanating from the forespore which interacts with the pro-ςK processing complex, comprising SpoIVFA,...
The PDZ Domain of the SpoIVB Serine Peptidase Facilitates Multiple Functions
Hoa, Ngo T., Brannigan, James A., Cutting, Simon M.
During spore formation in Bacillus subtilis, the SpoIVB protein is a critical component of the ςK regulatory checkpoint. SpoIVB has been shown to be a serine peptidase that is synthesized in the...
Characterization of Two Bacillus Probiotics
Green, David H., Wakeley, Phil R., Page, Anthony, Barnes, Andrew, Baccigalupi, Loredana, Ricca, Ezio, ...
Bacillus subtilis is currently used as an oral probiotic. We examined two commercial B. subtilis probiotic preparations, Enterogermina and Biosubtyl. Surprisingly, physiological and genetic...
Bacillus Probiotics: Spore Germination in the Gastrointestinal Tract
Casula, Gabriella, Cutting, Simon M.
Spores of Bacillus species are being used commercially as probiotics and competitive exclusion agents. Unlike the more commonly used Lactobacillus-type probiotics, spores are dormant life forms. To...
The Bacillus subtilis Signaling Protein SpoIVB Defines a New Family of Serine Peptidases
Hoa, Ngo T., Brannigan, James A., Cutting, Simon M.
The protein SpoIVB plays a key role in signaling in the ςK checkpoint of Bacillus subtilis. This regulatory mechanism coordinates late gene expression during development in this organism and we have...
Bacterial Spores as Vaccine Vehicles
Duc, Le H., Hong, Huynh A., Fairweather, Neil, Ricca, Ezio, Cutting, Simon M.
For the first time, bacterial spores have been evaluated as vaccine vehicles. Bacillus subtilis spores displaying the tetanus toxin fragment C (TTFC) antigen were used for oral and intranasal...
Emerging Applications of Bacterial Spores in Nanobiotechnology
Bacterial spores are robust and dormant life forms with formidable resistance properties, in part, attributable to the multiple layers of protein that encase the spore in a protective and flexible...
Characterization of Bacillus Probiotics Available for Human Use
Duc, Le H., Hong, Huynh A., Barbosa, Teresa M., Henriques, Adriano O., Cutting, Simon M.
Bacillus species (Bacillus cereus, Bacillus clausii, Bacillus pumilus) carried in five commercial probiotic products consisting of bacterial spores were characterized for potential attributes...
The Intestinal Life Cycle of Bacillus subtilis and Close Relatives†
Tam, Nguyen K. M., Uyen, Nguyen Q., Hong, Huynh A., Duc, Le H., Hoa, Tran T., Serra, Claudia R., ...
Bacillus subtilis is considered a soil organism for which endospore formation provides a means to ensure long-term survival in the environment. We have addressed here the question of what happens to...
