Pseudomonas putida is a fast-growing bacterium found mostly in temperate soil and water
habitats. The metabolic versatility of P. putida makes this organism attractive for …

A biofilm is an assemblage, aggregation, or community of microbial cells bounded by a
polymeric matrix comprising polysaccharides that are associated with an inert or biotic …

In G ram‐negative bacteria, multidrug efflux pumps are responsible for the extrusion of
chemicals that are deleterious for growth. Some of these efflux pumps are induced by …

Bacteria use biofilm structures to colonize surfaces and to survive in hostile conditions, and
numerous bacteria produce cellulose as a biofilm matrix polymer. Hence, expression of the …

With the rise of Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) methods, Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) have
achieved an important position in the research landscape and have been found to present …

The drilling, processing and transportation of oil are the main sources of pollution in water
and soil. The current work analyzes the microbial diversity and aromatic compounds …

Pathogenic bacteria have to cope with adverse conditions, such as the host environment
and host defense reactions. To adapt quickly to environmental changes, pathogens have …

The ability of bacteria to regulate cell surface hydrophobicity is important for the adaptation
to different environmental conditions. The hydrophobicity of cell surface can be determined …

The biofilm of Pseudomonas putida is complexly regulated by several intercellular and
extracellular factors. The cell surface adhesin LapA of this bacterium is a central factor for …
