The gut-brain axis is crucial to microbial-host interactions. The neurotransmitter serotonin is
primarily synthesized in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, where it is secreted into the lumen and …

Bacteria offer resistance to a broad range of antibiotics by activating their export channels of
ATP-binding cassette transporters. These transporters perform a central role in vital …

The gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea has a significant impact on tomato production
throughout the world. Although the synthetic fungicide fludioxonil can effectively control B …

Fermented red pepper (FRP) sauce has been eaten in worldwide for many years. The salt
content and resident microbial community influences the quality of the FRP sauce and may …

Fusarium graminearum is the primary causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB) of wheat.
The phenylpyrrole fungicide fludioxonil is not currently registered for the management of …

To survive an environmental stress, organisms must detect the stress and mount an
appropriate response. One way that bacteria do so is by phosphorelay systems that respond …

Like eukaryotes, different bacterial species express one or more Ser/Thr kinases and
phosphatases that operate in various signaling networks by catalyzing phosphorylation and …

KdpFABC is an ATP-dependent K+ pump that ensures bacterial survival in K+-deficient
environments. Whereas transcriptional activation of kdpFABC expression is well studied, a …

Background Bacteria routinely utilize two-component signal transduction pathways to sense
and alter gene expression in response to environmental cues. While cyanobacteria express …

Background Biosynthesis of sabinene, a bicyclic monoterpene, has been accomplished in
engineered microorganisms by introducing heterologous pathways and using renewable …
