Agricultural systems are highly affected by climatic factors such as temperature, rain,
humidity, wind, and solar radiation, so the climate and its changes are major risk factors for …

Many bacteria have the ability to survive in challenging environments; however, they cannot
all grow on standard culture media, a phenomenon known as the viable but non-culturable …

The growth and persistence of rhizobacteria in soils are highly impacted by moisture stress.
In this study, we report the first transcript analysis of four Pseudomonas strains (PS1, PS2 …

The success of beneficial bacteria in improving the crop growth and yield depends on an
adequate plant-bacteria interaction. In this work, the capability of Azospirillium brasilense …

The loss of cellular water (desiccation) and the resulting low cytosolic water activity are
major stress factors for life. Numerous prokaryotic and eukaryotic taxa have evolved …

An important prelude to bacterial infection is the ability of a pathogen to survive
independently of the host and to withstand environmental stress. The compatible solute …

Light-based technologies of different wavelengths can inactivate pathogenic
microorganisms, but each wavelength has its limitations. This work explores the potential of …

Pseudomonas putida is a fast-growing bacterium found mostly in temperate soil and water
habitats. The metabolic versatility of P. putida makes this organism attractive for …

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 …

In natural environments, bacteria often enter a state of anhydrobiosis due to water loss.
Multiple studies have demonstrated that desiccation may lead to protein aggregation and …
