The interaction of bacteria with surfaces has important implications in a range of areas,
including bioenergy, biofouling, biofilm formation, and the infection of plants and animals …

Some Enterobacteriaceae possess the ability to survive in low-moisture environments for
extended periods of time. Many of the reported food-borne outbreaks associated with low …

An appropriate response and adaptation to hyperosmolarity, ie., an external osmolarity that
is higher than the physiological range, can be a matter of life or death for all cells. It is …

Bacteria thrive both in liquids and attached to surfaces. The concentration of bacteria on
surfaces is generally much higher than in the surrounding environment, offering bacteria …

Light has become established as a tool not only to visualize and investigate but also to steer
biological systems. This review starts by discussing the unique features that make light such …

Higher plants are sessile organisms that continuously adapt their metabolism and
development in response to a changing environment. Control of water uptake and the …

Two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs) are widely conserved in bacteria to
respond to and adapt to the changing environment. Since TCSs are also involved in …

Unlike eukaryotes, bacteria undergo large changes in osmolality and cytoplasmic pH. It has
been described that during acid stress, bacteria internal pH promptly acidifies, followed by …

The PhoQ/PhoP two-component system plays an essential role in the response of
enterobacteria to the environment of their mammalian hosts. It is known to sense several …

Plant adaptive potential is critically dependent upon efficient communication and co-
ordination of resource allocation and signalling between above-and below-ground plant …
