Here, we investigate the proteomic response of Bacillus pumilus DSM492 (ATCC 27142) spores to PL treatment, comparing it to conventional UV-C 254 nm exposure. Methods: B. pumilus spores were either ...

The bacterial cell wall is crucial to maintain viability. It has previously been suggested that Gram positive bacteria have a periplasmic region between the cell membrane and peptidoglycan cell wall ...

Ambrosia beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) are wood-boring insects studied as examples of fungus-insect symbiosis and for their success as invasive species. While most research on ...
