Multiple Pathways Impact Swarming Motility of Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1

This study identifies key regulatory factors and pathways affecting swarming motility in Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1, showing that Gac/Rsm pathway activation enables swarming and that Gacamide A functions as a biosurfactant.

The Regulator FleQ Post-Transcriptionally Regulates the Production of RTX Adhesins by Pseudomonas fluorescens

This paper identifies FleQ as a post-transcriptional regulator of LapA and MapA adhesin production in Pseudomonas fluorescens, showing that its absence reduces biofilm formation despite increased transcript levels.

MapA, a second large RTX adhesin, contributes to biofilm formation by Pseudomonas fluorescens

The paper identifies MapA, a second RTX adhesin in Pseudomonas fluorescens, which contributes to biofilm formation under specific conditions, with regulation distinct from LapA.
