In this review, we examine numerous applications of the green fluorescent protein (GFP)
marker gene in environmental microbiology research. The GFP and its variants are reviewed …

Bacteria display considerable cell‐to‐cell heterogeneity in a number of genetic and
physiological traits. Stochastic differences in regulatory patterns (eg at the transcriptional …

A comprehensive multiphasic survey of the prevalence and transfer of gentamicin resistance
(Gmr) genes in different non-clinical environments has been performed. We were interested …

Plant‐growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) utilise amino acids exuded from plant root
systems, but hitherto there have been no direct measurements of rhizosphere …

Several Salmonella enterica outbreaks have been traced back to contaminated tomatoes. In
this study, the internalization of S. enterica Typhimurium via tomato leaves was investigated …

The primary objective of this study was to determine the possibility of internalization of GFP-
expressing Escherichia coli O157: H7 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S …

Survival of the green fluorescent protein-transformed human pathogens Escherichia coli
O157: H7 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium was studied in a laboratory …

Differential fluorescent labeling of bacteria has become instrumental for many aspects of
microbiological research, such as the study of biofilm formation, bacterial individuality …

The role of bacterial 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity in the
interaction between tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum= Solanum lycopersicum) and …

The hrp genes of the plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum are key pathogenicity
determinants; they encode a type III protein secretion machinery involved in the secretion of …
