New research suggests that anthrax-causing bacteria conspire with viruses to extend each other's lifespan. The work reveals a previously unknown relationship between Bacillus anthracis and viruses ...

Few strands of bacteria have achieved such a central place in public consciousness as Bacillus anthracis, the bacteria which causes Anthrax. While today it is a feared weapon of bioterrorism ...

Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax. What makes Bacillus anthracis especially dangerous is that these bacteria can form spores.

The Secret Life of the Anthrax Agent Bacillus anthracis: Bacteriophage-Mediated Ecological Adaptations PLoS ONE, 4 (8) DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0006532 Images: Cow by Daniel Schwen ...

The CDC's report says scientists at the Roybal campus biosafety level 3 labs were preparing Bacillus anthracis -- the bacteria that causes anthrax infection -- for research in a different lab.

The enzyme, called lysin, prevented the death of most mice that the researchers had infected with a bacterial relative of B. anthracis, Raymond Schuch of Rockefeller University in New York and his ...

CapD in Bacillus anthracis normally anchors the bacteria’s PDGA capsule. Earlier studies had suggested that the enzyme could be engineered to degrade the capsule instead.
