Traits contributing to the competence of biocontrol bacteria to colonize plant roots are often
induced in the rhizosphere in response to plant components. These interactions have been …

Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS365 is an excellent competitive colonizer of tomato root tips
after bacterization of seed or seedlings. The strain controls tomato foot and root rot (TFRR) …

To use deliberately released beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere, we need a better
understanding of the process of root colonization by seed-borne or soil-borne inocula. In this …

Type 1 fimbriae and flagella have been previously shown to contribute to the virulence of
uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) within the urinary tract. In this study, the relationship …

Spatial organization of bacterial proteins influences many cellular processes, including
division, chromosome segregation and motility. Virulence‐associated proteins also localize …

We describe the first two‐partner secretion system known to play a role in mutualistic plant–
bacterial interactions, identified in the soil and rhizosphere‐colonizing bacterium …

Plant growth-promoting Psudomonas fluorescens GL20 was isolated from a ginseng
rhizosphere on chrome azurol Sagar. P. fluorescens GL20 produced a large amount of …

Bacterial responses to phosphorus limitation, commonly inorganic phosphate (Pi), are
important survival mechanisms in a variety of environments. The two-component sensor …

The signal molecules in root exudates that are sensed by plant growth–promoting
rhizobacteria (PGPR) are critical to regulate their root colonization. Phosphorylated Spo0A is …

Escherichia coli adapts its lifestyle to the variations of environmental growth conditions,
swapping between swimming motility or biofilm formation. The stationary-phase sigma factor …
