• Spores of Bacillus subtilis: their resistance to and killing by radiation, heat and chemicals (2006, background): “…there can be repair of DNA damage when the spore returns to life in the process of spore germination and outgrowth and metabolic activity resumes (Setlow 2003), if too much damage has been accumulated during spore dormancy, this damage can overwhelm the capacity of repair systems and lead to the…”
• Spoilage microbiota associated to the storage of raw meat in different conditions. (2012, background): “frigidicarnis is associated with spoilage of chilled red meat and was originally isolated from spoiled, VP, temperature abused beef (Adam et al., 2011).”
• Role of Dipicolinic Acid in Resistance and Stability of Spores of Bacillus subtilis with or without DNA-Protective α/β-Type Small Acid-Soluble Proteins (2006, background): “The latter gene encodes one of the two redundant enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of the spore’s peptidoglycan cortex in the first min of germination (32).”
• Bile Salts and Glycine as Cogerminants for Clostridium difficile Spores (2008, background): “After the germinant is sensed, a large depot of calcium dipicolinate (Ca(2) -DPA) is released, the core hydrates, the cortex is degraded, and metabolism begins (34).”
• The use of bacterial spore formers as probiotics. (2005, background): “Interestingly, genes involved in germination appear to be remarkably conserved amongst Bacillus species, so the germination process per se is likely to be similar between species [115].”
