Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus weihenstephanensis sp. nov. is a new psychrotolerant species of the Bacillus cereus group.

TL;DR: The DNA sequences investigated exhibited a high degree of sequence similarity indicating a close relationship between the species of the B. cereus group, and strongly support a hitherto unrecognized fifth sub-group within the B.'s cereus species group comprising psychrotolerant, but not mesophilic, B. mycoides strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
C-terminal domains of Listeria monocytogenes bacteriophage murein hydrolases determine specific recognition and high-affinity binding to bacterial cell wall carbohydrates
TL;DR: It is concluded that the CBD sequences contain no repeats and lack all known sequence motifs for anchoring of proteins to the bacterial cell, and use unique structural motifS for specific association with the surface of Gram‐positive bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus cereus, the causative agent of an emetic type of food-borne illness.
TL;DR: This work will summarize the data available for the emetic type of the disease, discuss some new insights in emetic strain characteristics, diagnosis, and toxin synthesis, and summarizes the data involved in the diarrhoeal syndrome and its corresponding toxin.
Journal ArticleDOI
UV-B-induced synthesis of photoprotective pigments and extracellular polysaccharides in the terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc commune.
TL;DR: After long-time exposure, the UV-B effect on carotenoid and scytonemin synthesis ceased whereas the mycosporine content remained constantly high, which may indicate that the syntheses of these UV sunscreens are triggered by different UV photoreceptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emetic toxin formation of Bacillus cereus is restricted to a single evolutionary lineage of closely related strains

TL;DR: The data provide evidence for a clonal population structure of cereulide-producing emetic B. cereus and indicate that emetic strains represent a highly clonal complex within a potentially panmictic or weakly clonal background populationructure of the species.
