Project description:Reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide occur in all aerobically living organisms. Oxidative stress during fermentation can impair the fitness of the production host and the quality of the product. B. pumilus has been described as highly resistant to hydrogen peroxide. The response of exponentially growing B. pumilus cells to hydrogen peroxide was studied.
Project description:The proteome of Bacillus pumilus spores was established by shotgun proteomics to better characterize this biological material used as indicator to assess the effectiveness of decontamination procedures.
