The plant apoplast is the intercellular space that surrounds plant cells, in which metabolic
and physiological processes relating to cell wall biosynthesis, nutrient transport, and stress …

Abstract Trehalose (α-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→ 1)-α-d-glucopyranoside) is a non-reducing
disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked by an α, α-1, 1-glycosidic bond. It …

By the time the complete genome sequence of the soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida
KT2440 was published in 2002 (Nelson et al.,) this bacterium was considered a potential …

Soil salinity is a major problem in agriculture. However, crop growth and productivity can be
improved by the inoculation of plants with beneficial bacteria that promote plant growth …

Members of the genus Pseudomonas are metabolically versatile and capable of adapting to
a wide variety of environments. Stress physiology of Pseudomonas strains has been …

Trehalose is a natural glucose disaccharide identified in the 19th century in fungi and insect
cocoons, and later across the three domains of life. In members of the genus …

Surprisingly little is known of the trehalose biosynthetic pathways in pseudomonads, despite
the importance of trehalose to protecting cells from environmental stresses such as low …

ABSTRACT A novel putative trehalose synthase gene (treM) was identified from an extreme
temperature thermal spring. The gene was expressed in Escherichia coli followed by …

A trehalose synthase (TSase) gene from a hyperacidophilic, thermophilic archaea,
Picrophilus torridus, was synthesized using overlap extension PCR and transformed into …

One of the most desirable properties for industrial enzymes is high thermotolerance, which
can reduce the amount of biocatalyst used and lower the production cost. Aiming to improve …
