Open AccessInfluence of rehydration on transcriptome during resuscitation of desiccated Pseudomonas putida KT2440
Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is a desiccation-sensitive bacterium that loses culturability after 15 days of air desiccation. We have previously shown that P. putida KT2440 can develop a viable but nonculturable (VBN...

Exploring the rhizospheric and endophytic bacterial communities of Acer pseudoplatanus growing on a TNT-contaminated soil: towards the development of a rhizocompetent TNT-detoxifying plant growth promoting consortium
Numerous microorganisms have been isolated from trinitrotoluene (TNT)-contaminated soils, however TNT tends to persist, indicating that the microbial biomass or activity is insufficient for degradation. Deep-r...

Taxonomic and Functional Metagenomic Profiling of the Microbial Community in the Anoxic Sediment of a Sub-saline Shallow Lake (Laguna de Carrizo, Central Spain)
The phylogenetic and functional structure of the microbial community residing in a Ca2+-rich anoxic sediment of a sub-saline shallow lake (Laguna de Carrizo, initially operated as a gypsum (CaSO4 × 2 H2O) mine) w...

Open AccessTranscriptome profiling of a Sinorhizobium meliloti fadD mutant reveals the role of rhizobactin 1021 biosynthesis and regulation genes in the control of swarming
Swarming is a multicellular phenomenom characterized by the coordinated and rapid movement of bacteria across semisolid surfaces. In Sinorhizobium meliloti this type of motility has been described in a fadD mutan...

Open AccessThe tep1 gene of Sinorhizobium meliloti coding for a putative transmembrane efflux protein and N-acetyl glucosamine affect nod gene expression and nodulation of alfalfa plants
Soil bacteria collectively known as Rhizobium, characterized by their ability to establish beneficial symbiosis with legumes, share several common characteristics with pathogenic bacteria when infecting the host ...

Physiological Evidence for Respiration of TNT by Pseudomonas sp. JLR11
The aim of this review is to summarize our current understanding of the anaerobic respiration of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) by a pure bacterial culture of Pseudomonas sp. JLR11 from a physiological and biochemic...
