Understanding metabolic interactions and successive cross-feeding in native microbiomes illuminates the mechanisms behind plant disease promotion and suppression, enhancing our ability to manipulate microbiomes toward specific functions of interest.

A novel bioinformatic pipeline predicts diverse pyoverdine structures and receptor groups with high accuracy, revealing significant hidden diversity in siderophores systems across Pseudomonas genomes.

The putative carbohydrate-binding protein gene Cs9g12620 by PthA4-mediated induction of CsLOB1 during Xcc infection.

Unveiling the intricate web of interactions between G4 structures and pathogenicity islands in 89 bacterial genomes significantly advances our understanding of bacterial virulence mechanisms.

Genetic and biochemical analyses show that Chlamydia protects secreted effectors necessary for its exit from infected cells, preventing them from undergoing ubiquitination and degradation.

Increasing the intra-species phenotypic diversity of a plant-beneficial bacterium effectively improves probiotic consortium functioning and plant growth promotion in agricultural systems.
