Pantoea ananatis-triggered systemic resistance requires root sensing through the LORE receptor kinase in Arabidopsis

This study shows that Pantoea ananatis triggers systemic resistance in Arabidopsis through root sensing via the LORE receptor kinase, using HAAs and 3-OH-C10 as MAMPs.

From Exception to Rule: Widespread Production of Methylated Rhamnolipids in the Burkholderia cepacia Complex

The paper identifies methylated rhamnolipids as the biosurfactant produced by B. cenocepacia and shows that rhamnolipid methylation is widespread across the Burkholderia cepacia complex.

Identification of Beneficial Bacterial Strains for Tomato Growth Promotion and Biocontrol of Bacterial Canker Caused by Clavibacter michiganensis

This study identifies three bacterial strains that promote tomato growth and control bacterial canker caused by Clavibacter michiganensis, with two strains showing significant disease reduction and growth enhancement.

Optimizing Rhamnolipid Biosynthesis: Evaluating Predictive Methods using Pseudomonas aeruginosa Mutants

This paper evaluates predictive methods for rhamnolipid production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutants using quantitative LC/MS analysis, revealing high misprediction rates in traditional phenotypic assays.

Modulation of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing cascade by MexT-regulated factors

This paper identifies MexT-regulated factors that modulate quorum sensing hierarchy in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, revealing alternative QS architectures in clinical isolates.

Characterization of immunity-inducing rhizobacteria highlights diversity in plant-microbe interactions

The paper identifies taxonomically diverse rhizobacteria that induce systemic resistance in tomato plants against Botrytis, revealing varied mechanisms of action.

PqsE is conserved and functionally relevant in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

This study confirms that PqsE is conserved and functionally relevant across diverse Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, highlighting its role in quorum sensing and virulence.

Quorum sensing and DNA methylation play active roles in clinical Burkholderia phase variation

This study identifies quorum sensing and adenosine DNA methylation as two antagonistic systems controlling phase variation in Burkholderia ambifaria clinical isolates.

Temperature-responsive control of Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence determinants through the stabilization of quorum sensing transcriptional regulator RhlR

This study shows that lower temperatures increase RhlR activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa through enhanced stability of the RhlR/C4-HSL/PqsE complex, affecting virulence factor expression.

High-Throughput Short Sequence Typing Schemes for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia pure culture and environmental DNA

The paper develops and validates two High-Throughput Short Sequence Typing (HiSST) schemes for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia using targeted loci and PCR primers, demonstrating high discrimination power comparable to whole-genome sequencing.
