The transition or d-block metal ions manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and to a
more specialized degree molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium have been shown to be …

Biofilms are complex bacterial assemblages with a defined three‐dimensional architecture,
attached to solid surfaces, and surrounded by a self‐produced matrix generally composed of …

Bacterial pathogens that cause invasive disease in the vertebrate host must adapt to host
efforts to cripple their viability. Major host insults are reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen …

For many pathogenic bacteria surface attachment is a required first step during host
interactions. Attachment can proceed to invasion of host tissue or cells or to establishment of …

Free nitrous acid (FNA) exerts a broad range of antimicrobial effects on bacteria, although
susceptibility varies considerably among microorganisms. Among nitrifiers found in activated …

Sulfur is not only one of the most abundant elements on the Earth, but it is also essential to
all living organisms. As life likely began and evolved in a hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-rich …

Agrobacterium tumefaciens attaches stably to plant host tissues and abiotic surfaces. During
pathogenesis, physical attachment to the site of infection is a prerequisite to infection and …

The transition or d-block metal ions manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, and to a
more specialized degree, molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium, have been shown to be …

Bacterial infections cause severe medical problems worldwide, resulting in considerable
death and loss of capital. With the ever-increasing rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the …

Winged-helix transcriptional factors play important roles in the control of gene expression in
many organisms. In the plant pathogens Xylella fastidiosa and Agrobacterium tumefaciens …
