Characterization of carotenoid-producing Muricauda sp. strains isolated from the reef-building coral Galaxea fascicularis and subtropical seawater

F. Endo, K. Motone, K. Kai, T. Kitakaze, Y. Nishikawa, Y. Nishimura, R. Kitamura, T. Takagi, M. Ito, N. Miura, M. Kataoka

This study characterizes two Muricauda sp. strains isolated from coral and seawater, showing they produce carotenoids that may protect zooxanthellae from environmental stress.

Quorum sensing-dependent invasion of Ralstonia solanacearum into Fusarium oxysporum chlamydospores

C. Tsumori, S. Matsuo, Y. Murai, K. Kai

This study shows that quorum sensing in Ralstonia solanacearum is essential for invading Fusarium oxysporum chlamydospores, with ralstonins and EPS I playing key roles in this process.
