Main conclusion Plant responds to Agrobacterium via three-layered immunity that
determines its susceptibility or resistance to Agrobacterium infection. Abstract Agrobacterium …

Plant pathogenic bacteria attack numerous agricultural crops, causing devastating effects on
plant productivity and yield. They survive in diverse environments, both in plants, as …

Dietary emulsifiers carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and polysorbate-80 (P80) disturb gut
microbiota, promoting chronic inflammation. Mice with minimal microbiota are protected …

The negative impact of conventional farming on environment and human health make
improvements on farming management mandatory. Imaging techniques are implemented in …

In Escherichia coli, the replication initiator DnaA oscillates between an ATP-and an ADP-
bound state in a cell cycle-dependent manner, supporting regulation for chromosome …

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) are relevant agents in bacterial adaptation and
evolutionary diversification. Stable appropriation of these DNA elements depends on host …

Nucleoid-associated proteins typically are abundant, low-molecular-mass polypeptides that
bind DNA and alter its shape and its ability to participate in transactions such as …

One hallmark of pathogenic yersiniae is their ability to rapidly adjust their life-style and
pathogenesis upon host entry. In order to capture the range, magnitude and complexity of …

DNA supercoiling is essential for all living cells because it controls all processes involving
DNA. In bacteria, global DNA supercoiling results from the opposing activities of …

Recent studies strongly suggest that the gene expression sustaining both normal and
pathogenic bacterial growth is governed by the structural dynamics of the chromosome …
