Although not fully understood, molecular communication in the rhizosphere plays an important role regulating traits involved plant-bacteria association. Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN is a well-known plant-growth-promoting bacterium, which establishes rhizospheric and endophytic colonization different plants. A competent essential for effects produced by bacteria. Using appropriate mutant strains of B. phytofirmans, we obtained evidence importance N-acyl homoserine lactone-mediated (quorum...
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) induce positive effects in plants, such as increased growth or reduced stress susceptibility. The mechanisms behind PGPR/plant interaction are poorly understood, most studies have described short-term responses on plants and only a few analyzed plant molecular under PGPR colonization. Here, we studied the of bacterial model Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN whole life cycle Arabidopsis thaliana plants. We reported that at different developmental...
The role of broad-host range IncP-1ε plasmids in the dissemination antibiotic resistance agricultural systems has not yet been investigated. These were detected total DNA from all 16 manure samples and arable soil based on a novel 5'-nuclease assay for real-time PCR. A correlation between plasmid abundance usage was revealed. In microcosm experiment significantly increased even 127 days after application containing compound sulfadiazine, compared to receiving only manure, or water. Fifty...
Abstract Background Patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia who previously received hypomethylating agents for prior neoplasms (HMA‐sAML) face a dismal prognosis. Methods The authors analyze the characteristics, therapeutic approaches, and outcomes of patients HMA‐sAML from Programa Español para el Tratamiento de Hemopatías Malignas (PETHEMA) registry. Results A total 479 were included, mostly myelodysplastic syndrome (84%). Frontline therapy consisted intensive chemotherapy (IC) in...
Summary Ralstonia eutropha JMP134 (pJP4) is a useful model for the study of bacterial degradation substituted aromatic pollutants. Several key degrading capabilities, encoded by tfd genes, are located in 88 kb, self‐transmissible, IncP‐1 β plasmid pJP4. The complete sequence 87 688 nucleotides pJP4, encoding 83 open reading frames (ORFs), reported. Most coding corresponds to well‐conserved backbone and previously reported genes. In addition, we found hypothetical proteins putatively involved...
Background Cupriavidus necator JMP134 is a Gram-negative β-proteobacterium able to grow on variety of aromatic and chloroaromatic compounds as its sole carbon energy source. Methodology/Principal Findings Its genome consists four replicons (two chromosomes two plasmids) containing total 6631 protein coding genes. Comparative analysis identified 1910 core genes common the genomes compared (C. JMP134, C. H16, metallidurans CH34, R. solanacearum GMI1000). Although secondary found in...
The eastern tropical Pacific Ocean holds two of the main oceanic oxygen minimum zones global ocean. presence an oxygen-depleted layer at intermediate depths, which also impinges on seafloor and in some cases euphotic zone, plays a significant role structuring both pelagic benthic communities, vertical partitioning microbial assemblages. Here, we assessed genetic diversity distribution natural populations cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus Synechococcus within oxic suboxic waters using cloning...
Cigarette smokers and those exposed to second hand smoke are more susceptible life threatening infection than non-smokers. While much is known about the devastating effect tobacco exposure has on human body, less of commensal commonly found pathogenic bacteria respiratory tract, or tract microbiome. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) a common medical complaint, affecting 16% US population with an estimated aggregated cost $6 billion annually. Epidemiologic studies demonstrate correlation between...
Associated microbiota play crucial roles in health and disease of higher organisms. For macroalgae, some associated bacteria exert beneficial effects on nutrition, morphogenesis growth. However, current knowledge macroalgae-microbiota interactions is mostly based studies green red seaweeds. In this study, we report that when cultured under axenic conditions, the filamentous brown algal model Ectocarpus sp. loses its branched morphology grows with a small ball-like appearance. Nine strains...
ABSTRACT Several bacteria use the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) as a sole carbon and energy source. A cluster of genes (named iac ) encoding IAA degradation has been reported in Pseudomonas putida 1290, but functions these are not completely understood. The plant-growth-promoting rhizobacterium Paraburkholderia phytofirmans PsJN harbors gene homologues its genome, with different organization context than those P. 1290. enable to Employing heterologous expression system approach,...
Significance Biological communities are conventionally described as assemblages of species, whose ecological roles known or predictable from their observable morphology. In microbial ecology, such a taxonomic approach is hindered by limited capacity to discriminate among different microbes, which bear highly dynamic genomes and establish complex associations. Approaches based on culture-independent functional genes profiling might overcome these problems, but set usable established in...
Treatment resistant depression (TRD) characterizes a subgroup of 10-30% patients with major depressive disorder, and is associated considerable morbidity mortality. A consensus treatment for TRD does not exist, which often leads to wide variations in strategies. Real-world studies on patterns outcomes Europe are lacking could help elucidate current strategies their efficacy.This non-interventional cohort study (defined as failure ≥2 oral antidepressants given at adequate dose duration)...
Pseudomonas fluorescens biovar I can grow on benzoin as the sole carbon and energy source. This ability is due to benzaldehyde lyase, a new type of enzyme that irreversibly cleaves acyloin linkage benzoin, producing two molecules benzaldehyde. Benzaldehyde lyase was purified 70-fold found require catalytic amounts thiamine PPi (TPP) divalent cation cofactors. Optimal activity obtained with 1.0 mM concentration Mn2+, Mg2+, or Ca2+. Gel permeation chromatography indicated native molecular...
