  • Plasmid For Bacillus Expressing Fluorescent Reporter Genes
    Publication number: 20230058264
    Abstract: The present invention relates to fluorescence reporter plasmid systems for enabling a Bacillus strain to fluoresce, and to methods for visualizing the state of Bacillus strains.

    Inventors: Jared Heffron, John William Rice
  • SEQUENTIAL ADDITION OF MOLECULAR GERMINANTS TO BACTERIAL SPORES
    Publication number: 20190300845
    Abstract: We found that bacterial spores could be pretreated or initially treated with a partial complement of germinants (i.e., less germinants than would cause germination) and, subsequently, could be treated with the remaining germinants to cause germination of the spores. In some instances, the pre-treated spores germinated more efficiently than bacterial spores to which the full complement of germinants was simultaneously added to the spores.

  • Composition Comprising Non-Germinant and Bacterial Spores
    Publication number: 20190241864
    Abstract: Composition comprising bacterial spore and its non-germinant (preferably amino acid, more preferably valine or aspargine) which alone in water does not cause germination of said spore, but accelerate its germination in combination with known germinants of said spore.
