Acinetobacter baumannii is a common cause of serious nosocomial infections. Although
community-acquired infections are observed, the vast majority occur in people with …

Bacteria belonging to the genera Rhizobium, Mesorhizobium, Sinorhizobium,
Bradyrhizobium, and Azorhizobium (collectively referred to as rhizobia) grow in the soil as …

Biofilms are surface-attached microbial communities with characteristic architecture and
phenotypic and biochemical properties distinct from their free-swimming, planktonic …

▪ Abstract Rhizobia are soil bacteria that can engage in a symbiosis with leguminous plants
that produces nitrogen-fixing root nodules. This symbiosis is based on specific recognition of …

Rhizobia—a diverse group of soil bacteria—induce the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules
on the roots of legumes. Nodulation begins when the roots initiate a molecular dialogue with …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are characterised by their conversion of a large proportion of their
carbon feed, fermentable sugars, to lactic acid. However, in addition to lactic acid …

Specific complex interactions between soil bacteria belonging to Rhizobium, Sinorhizobium,
Mesorhizobium, Phylorhizobium, Bradyrhizobium and Azorhizobium commonly known as …

Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move and multiply within the genome
of an organism. The Caenorhabditis elegans genome contains multiple Tc 1 transposons …

Many bacteria export extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) and capsular polysaccharides
(CPS). These polymers exhibit remarkably diverse structures and play important roles in the …

Sinorhizobium meliloti is an α-proteobacterium that alternates between a free-living phase in
bulk soil or in the rhizosphere of plants and a symbiotic phase within the host plant cells …
