The organoids represent one of the greatest revolutions in the biomedical field in the past
decade. This three-dimensional (3D) micro-organ cultured in vitro has a structure highly …

The bacterial cell wall is composed of a highly crosslinked matrix of glycopeptide polymers
known as peptidoglycan that dictates bacterial cell morphology and protects against …

Bacillus subtilis can form various types of spatially organised communities on surfaces, such
as colonies, pellicles and submerged biofilms. These communities share similarities and …

Astronauts are spending longer periods locked up in ships or stations for scientific and
exploration spatial missions. The International Space Station (ISS) has been inhabited …

Abstract Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is a form of vitamin K 2 with health-beneficial effects. A
novel fermentation strategy based on combining soy protein hydrolysates (SPHs) with …

In this study, we link pellicle development at the water–air interface with the vertical
distribution and viability of the individual B. subtilis PS-216 cells throughout the water …

Bacillus subtilis is a widely used bacterial model to decipher biofilm formation, genetic
determinants and their regulation. For several years, studies were conducted on colonies or …

Microbial communities employ a variety of complex strategies to compete successfully
against competitors sharing their niche, with antibiotic production being a common strategy …

We aimed to assess how biofilm formation by three Bacillus isolates was affected by
changes in temperature, water potential, growth media, time, and the combinations between …

Abstract The Bacillus subtilis strain NDmed was isolated from an endoscope washer-
disinfector in a medical environment. NDmed can form complex macrocolonies with highly …
