The object of the invention is a method for modifying the morphology of coagulant type aggregated filamentous fungi comprising: a) the encapsulation of the spores of the said filamentous fungi in the dispersed phase of a water-in-oil emulsion, b) the germination of the encapsulated spores in the said dispersed phase of the emulsion, c) the recovery of the non-aggregated germinated spores, the said emulsion being obtained by using a microfluidic device, d) the culturing of the germinated spores in a liquid medium.

Signal sequences useful for targeting proteins and peptides to the surface of endospores produced by multiple bacterial genera (e.g., Brevibacillus, Lysinibacillus, Viridibacillus, and/or Paenibacillus family members) and methods of using the same are provided. The display of heterologous molecules, such as peptides, polypeptides and other recombinant constructs, on the exosporium of Brevibacillus, Lysinibacillus, Viridibacillus, and/or Paenibacillus family members, using particular N-terminal targeting sequences and derivatives of the same, and likewise are provided.

A method of producing Bacillus spores comprising a step of culturing the Bacillus bacterium using a liquid medium having a C/N ratio (weight ratio of carbon content to nitrogen content) of greater than 4 and less than 9.5.

A process is provided for fermenting CO-containing gaseous substrates. Bacteria are sporulated and then germinated in the presence of a CO-containing gaseous substrate to provide an inoculum. The resulting inoculum is effective for providing a fermentation with an ethanol productivity having a specific STY of 1 or greater.
