Sulfurospirillum diekertiae sp. nov., a tetrachloroethene-respiring bacterium isolated from contaminated soil

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Junxiong Wang

Two anaerobic, tetrachloroethene- (PCE-) respiring bacterial isolates, designated strain ACSDCE T and strain ACSTCE, were characterized using a polyphasic approach. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, motile, non-spore-forming and shared a vibrioid- to spirill ...

Variability in DPA and calcium content in the spores of Clostridium species

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Imrich Barak, Zuzana Chromiková, Cornelia List, Jan Jamroskovic

Spores of a number of clostridia' species, and their resistance to thermal treatment is a major concern for the food industry. Spore resistance to wet heat is related to the level of spore hydration, which is inversely correlated with the content of calciu ...

Frontiers Research Foundation2016

The genus Desulfotomaculum, belonging to the Firmicutes, comprises strictly anaerobic and endospore-forming bacteria capable of dissimilatory sulfate reduction. These microorganisms are metabolically versatile and are widely distributed in the environment. ...

Combined scanning transmission X-ray and electron microscopy for the characterization of bacterial endospores

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Paul Pao-Yun Shao, Imrich Barak, Jan Jamroskovic

Endospores (also referred to as bacterial spores) are bacterial structures formed by several bacterial species of the phylum Firmicutes. Spores form as a response to environmental stress. These structures exhibit remarkable resistance to harsh environmenta ...

Wiley-Blackwell2014

The genera Desulfotomaculum and Clostridium, belonging to the phylum Firmicutes, comprise Gram-positive, low G+C genomic content, anaerobic, spore- forming bacteria. Desulfotomaculum is a metabolically and environmentally versatile genus capable of growing ...
