Plants encounter many biotic agents, such as viruses, bacteria, nematodes, weeds, and
arachnids. These entities induce biotic stress in their hosts by disrupting normal metabolism …

Systemic chemotherapy remains the backbone of many cancer treatments. Due to its
untargeted nature and the severe side effects it can cause, numerous nanomedicine …

Chemotaxis, the ability of motile bacteria to direct their movement in gradients of attractants
and repellents, plays an important role during the rhizosphere colonization by rhizobacteria …

Numerous studies have reported the stimulation of plant growth following inoculation with an
IAA-producing PGPB. However, the specific mode of IAA production by the PGPB is rarely …

Abstract Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is an important phytohormone with the capacity to control
plant development in both beneficial and deleterious ways. The ability to synthesize IAA is …

Recently, with the rapid development of bioengineering technology and nanotechnology,
natural bacteria were modified to change their physiological activities and therapeutic …

Motile Escherichia coli cells track gradients of attractant and repellent chemicals in their
environment with transmembrane chemoreceptor proteins. These receptors operate in …

Cell primitive-based functional materials that combine the advantages of natural substances
and nanotechnology have emerged as attractive therapeutic agents for cancer therapy. Cell …

Colonization of plant roots by Bacillus subtilis is mutually beneficial to plants and bacteria.
Plants can secrete up to 30% of their fixed carbon via root exudates, thereby feeding the …

Widespread pollution of terrestrial ecosystems with petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) has
generated a need for remediation and, given that many PHCs are biodegradable, bio-and …
