Box 5003 NMBU, 1432 Ås, Norway; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors have contributed equally to this work. Abstract: Bacillus cereus is a ubiquitous soil bacterium responsible for two types of food-associated gastrointestinal diseases. While the emetic type, a food intoxication, manifests in nausea and vomiting, food infections with enteropathogenic strains cause diarrhea and abdominal pain. Causative toxins are the cyclic dodecadepsipeptide cereulide, and the proteinaceous enterotoxins hemolysin BL (Hbl), nonhemolytic enterotoxin (Nhe) and cytotoxin K (CytK), respectively. This review covers the current knowledge on distribution and genetic organization of the toxin genes, as well as mechanisms of enterotoxin gene regulation and toxin secretion. In this context, the exceptionally high variability of toxin production between single strains is highlighted. In addition, the mode of action of the pore-forming enterotoxins and their effect on target cells is described in detail. The main focus of this review are the two tripartite enterotoxin complexes Hbl and Nhe, but the latest findings on cereulide and CytK are also presented, as well as methods for toxin detection, and the contribution of further putative virulence factors to the diarrheal disease.

The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio is widely accepted to have an important influence in maintaining normal intestinal homeostasis. Increased or decreased F/B ratio is regarded as dysbiosis, whereby the former is usually observed with obesity, and the latter with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Probiotics as live microorganisms can confer health benefits to the host when administered in adequate amounts. There is considerable evidence of their nutritional and immunosuppressive properties including reports that elucidate the association of probiotics with the F/B ratio, obesity, and IBD. Orally administered probiotics can contribute to the restoration of dysbiotic microbiota and to the prevention of obesity or IBD. However, as the effects of different probiotics on the F/B ratio differ, selecting the appropriate species or mixture is crucial. The most commonly tested probiotics for modifying the F/B ratio and treating obesity and IBD are from the genus Lactobacillus. In this paper, we review the effects of probiotics on the F/B ratio that lead to weight loss or immunosuppression.

  • Catalogue of Bacteria Shapes
    We first tried to use the most general shape associated with each genus, which are often consistent across species (spp.) (first choice for shape). If there was documented species variability, either the most common species (second choice for shape) or well known species (third choice for shape) is shown. Corynebacterium: pleomorphic bacilli. Due to their snapping type of division, cells often lie in clusters resembling chinese letters (https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Corynebacterium) Shown is Corynebacterium diphtheriae Figure 1. Stained Corynebacterium cells. The "barred" appearance is due to the presence of polyphosphate inclusions called metachromatic granules. Note also the characteristic "Chinese-letter" arrangement of cells. (http:// textbookofbacteriology.net/diphtheria.html) Lactobacillus: Lactobacilli are rod-shaped, Gram-positive, fermentative, organotrophs. They are usually straight, although they can form spiral or coccobacillary forms under certain conditions. (https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/ Lactobacillus) Porphyromonas: A genus of small anaerobic gram-negative nonmotile cocci and usually short rods thatproduce smooth, gray to black pigmented colonies the size of which varies with the species. (http:// medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Porphyromonas) Shown: Porphyromonas gingivalis Moraxella: Moraxella is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the Moraxellaceae family. It is named after the Swiss ophthalmologist Victor Morax. The organisms are short rods, coccobacilli or, as in the case of Moraxella catarrhalis, diplococci in morphology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moraxella). *This one could be changed to a diplococcus shape because of moraxella catarrhalis, but i think the short rods are fair given the number of other moraxella with them. Jeotgalicoccus: Jeotgalicoccus is a genus of Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, and halotolerant to halophilicbacteria.

Drainage makes iron Microbial structures can be grouped into three zones based on the highest similarity between samples (Fig. 4).

Zone 1: Organic horizon, had the populations changed activity response to environmental variations. Activity = cDNA/DNA environment, low pH pore water further dissolved lowest pH value.

It was a privilege to work along side you. More thanks to my committee members, Dr. Gilberto Flores and Dr. Sean Murray. Dr. Flores, you were instrumental in guiding me to ask the right questions regarding bacterial taxonomy. Dr. Murray, your contributions to my graduate studies would make this section run on for pages. I thank you for taking me under your wing from the beginning. Acknowledgement and thanks to the Baresi lab, especially Dr. Larry Baresi and Tania Kurbessoian for their partnership in this research. Also to Bernardine Pregerson for all the work that lays at the foundation of this study. This research would not be what it is without the help of my childhood friend, Matthew Kay.

Nucleotide sequence of this strain has been deposited in the GenBank under accession number GU930359. This endophytic bacterium produced 2.37 μMol/mL of indole acetic acid and siderophore as it metabolites. This strain could solubilize phosphate molecules and fixes atmospheric nitrogen. Endophytic S. aquimarina SjAM16103 was inoculated into four different plants under in vitro method to analyse its growth-promoting activity and role inside the host plants.
