In many Gram‐negative bacteria, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and its lipid A moiety are pivotal
for bacterial survival. Depending on its structure, lipid A carries the toxic properties of the …

Rhizobial soil bacteria can form a symbiosis with legumes in which the bacteria fix
atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia that can be utilized by the host. The plant, in turn …

Abstract Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill, is one of the most important food crops in the
world. High soybean yields require large amounts of N fertilizers, which are expensive and …

Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) fredii (S. fredii) is a rhizobial species exhibiting a remarkably broad
nodulation host-range. Thus, S. fredii is able to effectively nodulate dozens of different …

Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are major components of the outer membrane of Gram-
negative bacteria and are essential for their growth and survival. They act as a structural …

Background In HIV infection, even under long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART), up to 20% of
HIV-infected individuals fail to restore CD4+ T cell counts to the levels similar to those of …

Background Rhizobia are soil bacteria that engage into a mutualistic symbiosis with plants
and benefit the host by fixing atmospheric N. In addition, rhizobia can be considered as …

ABSTRACT Bacteriophage 7-7-1, a member of the family Myoviridae, infects the soil
bacterium Agrobacterium sp. strain H13-3. Infection requires attachment to actively rotating …

Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are the major component of the outer membrane of
Gram-negative bacteria. They have a structural role since they contribute to the cellular …

Agrobacterium biovar 1 is a soilborne plant pathogen with the ability to colonize the
irrigation system of greenhouses, causing hairy root disease (HRD). Currently, management …
