Bacillus subtilis has emerged as a pre‐eminent model organism for the study and application of protein expression and secretion, owing to its robust secretory pathways and genetic tractability. Its ...

Bacteria make up more than 10% of all living things but until recently we had little realization that, as in humans, soil bacteria have internal clocks that synchronize their activities with the ...

When a bunch of B. subtilis bacteria are confined within a droplet of water, a very strange thing happens. The chaotic motion of individual swimmers spontaneously organizes into a swirling vortex, ...

1. The ammonifying power of B. subtilis is stronger in artificial sea water or in natural sea water of the same concentration than in any other salt mixture. 2. Sea water may be looked upon therefore ...

Inspired by the collective dynamics of bacteria like E. coli and Bacillus subtilis, researchers at the University of Twente ...

An international team led by LMU chronobiologists analyses circadian rhythms in microorganisms – and observes mechanisms that are reminiscent of clocks in more complex organisms. Bacteria make up more ...
