Endospore Appendages Enhance Bacillus cereus Spore Adhesion to Industrial Surfaces, Modulated by Physicochemical Factors

This study investigates how endospore appendages (ENAs) in Bacillus cereus spores enhance adhesion to industrial surfaces, showing that ENAs significantly improve adhesion to stainless steel and polypropylene, with effects modulated by physicochemical factors.

The role of endospore appendages in spore-spore contacts in pathogenic bacilli

This study investigates the role of S-ENAs and L-ENAs in spore-spore contacts and their interaction with vegetative cells, revealing their importance in self-aggregation and environmental factors' impact.
