The production of the main virulence determinants of the plant pathogen Erwinia carotovora
subsp. carotovora, the extracellular cell wall-degrading enzymes, is partly controlled by the …

An improved method for integration of exogenous DNA fragments at a defined site within the
genome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was developed. The method relies on two integration …

Here we describe targeting of the mouse metallothionein I (MT) protein to the cell surface of
the heavy metal-tolerant Ralstonia eutropha (formerly Alcaligenes eutrophus) CH34 strain …

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a nosocomial bacterial pathogen intrinsically resistant to
several antibiotics. The mechanisms involved in this intrinsic multiresistance phenotype are …

Plasmid‐encoded fimbriae (Pef) expressed by Salmonella typhimurium mediate adhesion to
mouse intestinal epithelium. The pef operon shares features with the Escherichia coli …

The expression of the divergently transcribedpaaZ and paaABCDEFGHIJK catabolic
operons, which are responsible for phenylacetic acid (PA) degradation inEscherichia coli, is …

Biological desulphurization of petroleum feedstocks and products may offer an attractive
alternative to reduce sulphur oxide emissions that cause serious environmental pollution …

Pseudomonas putida KT2442 is a root-colonizing strain which can use proline, one of the
major components in root exudates, as its sole carbon and nitrogen source. A P. putida …

An in silico scan of the partially completed genome sequence of Bordetella pertussis and
analyses of transcriptional fusions generated with a new integrational vector were used to …

Signature–tagged mutagenesis is a mutation–based screening method for the identification
of virulence genes of microbial pathogens. Genes isolated by this approach fall into three …
