All microorganisms possess a positive turgor, and maintenance of this outward-directed
pressure is essential since it is generally considered as the driving force for cell expansion …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) constitute a heterogeneous group of bacteria that are traditionally
used to produce fermented foods. The industrialization of food bio-transformations increased …

Unlike antibiotics, biocides are multi-targeted antimicrobial agents. Several of the damaging
effects reported to occur in the most widely studied organisms, bacteria, may also take place …

One of the strongest and most noticeable responses of Bacillus subtilis cells to a range of
stress and starvation stimuli is the dramatic induction of about 150 SigB-dependent general …

Gene arrays containing all currently known open reading frames of Bacillus subtilis were
used to examine the general stress response of Bacillus. By proteomics, transcriptional …

One of the strongest and most noticeable responses of a Bacillus subtilis cell to a range of
stress and starvation conditions is the dramatic induction of a large number of general stress …

Organic-solvent-tolerant bacteria are a relatively novel group of extremophilic
microorganisms. They overcome the toxic and destructive effects of organic solvents due to …

The stringent response in Bacillus subtilis was characterized by using proteome and
transcriptome approaches. Comparison of protein synthesis patterns of wild-type and relA …

To determine the contribution of sigma B (ςB) to survival of stationary-phase Listeria
monocytogenes cells following exposure to environmental stresses, we compared the …

Like other bacteria, Bacillus subtilis possesses a family of homologous small acidic proteins
(CspB, CspC and CspD, identity> 70%) that are strongly induced in response to cold shock …
