Additionally, several of the genus species are known to produce lipopeptides, which are compounds with high activity against other microorganisms, such as fungi and bacteria. Also named biosurfactants, the lipopeptide molecules interfere with the structure of biological membranes due to their amphiphilic ...
Therefore, here we refer to the bacteria we used here as Bacillus amyloiquefaciens based on the name of their operational group, but we note that we do not have the species or strain information for these bacteria at the current stage. Meanwhile, Bacillus subtilis strain 168 is a standard ...
When the originally virulent bacteria lost the metalloprotease secretion capacity due to experimental disruption or natural mutation of the related gene they lost significant amount of pathogenicity to bivalve mollusks (Le Roux et al., 2007; Hasegawa et al., 2008, 2009). In contrast, an initially...
In molecular cloning, vectors are vehicles to transfer foreign nucleic acids into a living cell. In the context of this article, we restrict the term “vector” to “plasmid vectors”, small circular DNA molecules that originate from bacteria. They are easy to handle for inserts up to 10–15...
Determine the type of motility of the following bacteria: ''Bacillus thuringiensis''. What are the antibiotics that the bacteria Bacillus megaterium is susceptible to and resistant to? Which of the following is the correct scientific name for the bacterium that causes anthrax?\\ (a) bacillus Anth...
Sugarcane red rot is a soil-borne disease caused by Colletotrichum falcatum. It can reduce the yield of sugarcane and the purity of sugarcane juice, which seriously restricts the development of sucrose industry. Biocontrol bacteria can control diseases b
thuringiensis are gram positive, soil living and spore forming bacteria and closely resembles B . cereus in many aspects. However B . thuringiensis is known for its ability to produce crystalline, proteinaceous, &endotoxin during sporulation but the latter does not H. Hori et a l . : Bt ...
Bacillus anthracisis an obligate pathogenic bacterium that is the causative agent of the disease, anthrax, occurring commonly in herbivores and less often in humans.However, animals like pigs, dogs, cats, rats, and chickens are resistant to anthrax, but the bacteria can transfer to birds after ...
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is one of the most widely studied bacteria in industrial biotechnology and commercialized as an environmentally sustainable biopesticide. Therefore, a huge interest has been allocated for research on this bacterium and several scientific studies have been published on the issue...
Standardized and well-characterized genetic building blocks allow the convenient assembly of novel genetic modules and devices, ensuring reusability of parts and reproducibility of experiments. In the first Bacillus subtilis-specific toolbox using the Bi
