Bacillus anthracis is a spore-forming gram-positive bacterium responsible for anthrax, an infectious disease with high mortality rate and target of concern due to bioterrorism long-term site contamination. The entire surface vegetative cells in exponential or stationary growth phase covered proteinaceous arrays called S-layers, composed Sap EA1 protein, respectively. S-layer represents important virulence factor cell envelope support structure whose paracrystalline nature essential its...

Abstract A study of like-charged, bimodal colloidal suspensions was conducted in microgravity aboard the International Space Station as part NASA's Advanced Colloids Experiments-Heated-2 (ACE-H-2) experiments. Samples comprised silsesquioxane microparticles (600 nm) and zirconia nanoparticles (5–15 1.5 pH nitric acid were mixed allowed to agglomerate over time while being imaged with Light Microscopy Module (LMM). The samples contained 1% varying concentrations 0.1%, 0.055%, 0.01% by volume....
