The formation of bacterial biofilms is initiated by cells transitioning from the free-swimming
mode of growth to a surface. This review is aimed at highlighting the common themes that …

Inoculation of legume seed is an efficient and convenient way of introducing effective
rhizobia to soil and subsequently the rhizosphere of legumes. However, its full potential is …

Bacterial pathogens regulate virulence factor gene expression coordinately in response to
environmental stimuli, including nutrient starvation. The phosphate (Pho) regulon plays a …

Diverse interactions between hosts and microbes are initiated by the detection of host-
released chemical signals. Detection of these signals leads to altered patterns of gene …

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

When the rhizosphere is nitrogen‐starved, legumes and rhizobia (soil bacteria) enter into a
symbiosis that enables the fixation of atmospheric dinitrogen. This implies a complex …

Biofilms are bacterial communities enclosed within an extracellular matrix of
polysaccharides produced by the bacteria, which adhere to a living or an inert macrosurface …

The increasing production and use of engineered nanoparticles, coupled with their
demonstrated toxicity to different organisms, demands the development of a systematic …

Rhizobia are soil proteobacteria able to engage in a nitrogen-fixing symbiotic interaction
with legumes that involves the rhizobial infection of roots and the bacterial invasion of new …

One of the most severe and widespread problems facing the agricultural industry is the
degradation of soil quality due to desiccation and salinity. In fact, almost 40% of the world's …
