Introduction: Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive bacterium usually implicated in food poisoning outbreaks and human infections that sometimes result fatal. These events are closely related to the assembly of a biofilm ...

Introduction Functional amyloids are a very heterogeneous family of amyloid proteins widespread in nature, from humans to bacteria. Unlike their “pathogenic” relatives, implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases, ...

Bacillus cereus is a human pathogen responsible of a series of food poisoning due to the consumption of contaminated vegetables or processed foods. The production of spores and the organization in communities called biofilms, ...

Plants are colonized by a vast variety of microbes, some of which promote plant growth and protection against pathogens. One way bacteria have evolved to succeed in this competitive scenario is the formation of biofilms ...

• Introduction A major concern in food safety is the contamination of fresh and stored food with spoiling bacteria that provoke human poisoning. Bacillus cereus is a common food-borne pathogen responsible of important ...

The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strains UMAF6614 and UMAF6639 were originally isolated from healthy leaf areas of melon plants naturally infected with the cucurbit powdery mildew fungus Podosphaera fusca. In previous works, ...

Bacillus cereus is a human pathogen responsible of many food poisoning due to the ingestion of contaminated vegetables or processed foods. The biofilm development and spore formation, are essential stages in the survival ...

The extracellular matrix and sporulation are defensive mechanisms used by Bacillus cells when they interact with Pseudomonas strains expressing a type VI secretion system (T6SS). Here, we define Tse1 as the main toxin ...
