Members of the Pseudomonas genus produce diverse secondary metabolites affecting other
bacteria, fungi or predating nematodes and protozoa but are also equipped with the capacity …

Pathogenic bacteria secrete protein toxins that provoke apoptosis or necrosis of eukaryotic
cells. Here, we developed a live‐imaging method, based on incorporation of a DNA …

Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae is a common plant‐associated bacterium that causes
diseases of both monocot and dicot plants worldwide. To help delineate traits critical to …

Background Bacterial plasmids have a major impact on metabolic function and adaptation of
their hosts. An indigenous plasmid was identified in a Chinese isolate (GX01) of the invasive …

Abstract Background The pPT23A family of plasmids appears to be indigenous to the plant
pathogen Pseudomonas syringae and these plasmids are widely distributed and widely …

Listeria monocytogenes is the causative agent of the highly fatal foodborne disease
listeriosis and can persist in food production environments. Recent research highlights the …

Plasmids are a main factor for the evolution of bacteria through horizontal gene exchange,
including the dissemination of pathogenicity genes, resistance to antibiotics and …

Many bacteria form mats at the air‐liquid interface of static microcosms. These structures
typically involve the secretion of exopolysaccharides, the production of which is often …

All fluorescent pseudomonads (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, P. putida, P. fluorescens, P.
syringae and others) are known to produce the high-affinity peptidic yellow-green …

Fluorescent pseudomonads are found widely in soils and often live in a commensal
relationship with plants, utilizing plant-exuded nutrients and occupying sites provided by the …
