Endophytic bacteria, which interact closely with their host, are an essential part of the plant
microbiome. These interactions enhance plant tolerance to environmental changes as well …

The members of the Burkholderia genus are characterized by high versatility and
adaptability to various ecological niches. With the availability of the genome sequences of …

Recently, a new class of prokaryotic compartments, collectively called encapsulins or protein
nanocompartments, has been discovered. The shell proteins of these structures self …

The purine adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) is not only a universal intracellular energy
carrier but plays also an important role as extracellular signaling molecule. Purinergic …

Pathogenic bacteria interact with cells of their host via many factors. The surface
components, ie, adhesins, lipoproteins, LPS and glycoconjugates, are particularly important …

Pathogenic bacteria secrete a variety of proteins that manipulate host cell function by
targeting components of the plasma membrane, cytosol, or organelles. In the last decade …

Colorectal patients generally have the maximum counts of Fusobacterium nucleatum (F.
nucleatum) in tumors and elevate colorectal adenomas and carcinomas, which show the …

Although Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains are efficient biocontrol agents, their field
applications have raised concerns due to their possible threat to human health. The non …

Secretion systems utilize ATPase activity to facilitate the translocation of proteins into and
across membranes. In bacteria, the universally conserved SecA ATPase binds a large …

Many Gram-negative bacteria have evolved insect pathogenic lifestyles. In all cases, the
ability to cause disease in insects involves specific bacterial proteins exported either to the …
