Bionanocomposites based on natural bioactive entities have gained importance due to their
abundance; renewable and environmentally benign nature; and outstanding properties with …

The LysR-type transcriptional regulators (LTTRs) are DNA-binding proteins present in
bacteria, archaea, and in algae. Knowledge about their distribution, abundance, evolution …

Indole and its derivatives have been shown to interfere with the quorum sensing (QS)
systems of a wide range of bacterial pathogens. While indole has been previously shown to …

Introduction Serratia marcescens is most commonly known as an opportunistic pathogen
causing nosocomial infections. It, however, was shown to infect a wide range of hosts apart …

Serratia marcescens is a gram-negative bacterium that is able to produce many secondary
metabolites, such as the prominent red pigment prodigiosin (PG). In this work, a ptrA …

Serratia marcescens is a Gram-negative bacterium of the Enterobacteriaceae family that can
produce numbers of biologically active secondary metabolites. However, our understanding …

Serratia marcescens NJ01 and Erwinia carotovora, two pathogenic bacteria involved in
vegetable spoilage, can persist in leafy vegetables and subsequently form biofilms. The aim …

Host-microbe interactions are virtually bidirectional, but how the host affects their
microbiome is poorly understood. Here, we report that the host is a critical modulator to …

Methionine is a unique sulfur-containing amino acid which plays an important role in
biological protein synthesis and various cellular processes. Here, we characterized the …

Prodigiosin is a promising secondary metabolite produced mainly by Serratia strains. To
study the global regulatory mechanism of prodigiosin biosynthesis, a mutagenesis library …
