Background Research on beneficial mechanisms by plant-associated microbiomes, such as
plant growth stimulation and protection from plant pathogens, has gained considerable …

Pseudomonas syringae is one of the most common plant pathogens that infect the
phyllosphere. P. syringae can live on the plant surface as an epiphyte. To cause disease, it …

Microbial taxonomy is increasingly influenced by genome-based computational methods.
Yet such analyses can be complex and require expert knowledge. Here we introduce TYGS …

Although considerable progress has been made in recent years regarding the classification
of bacteria assigned to the phylum Bacteroidetes, there remains a need to further clarify …

The introduction of genomics is profoundly changing current bacterial taxonomy.
Phylogenomics provides accurate methods for delineating species and allows us to infer the …

The genus Pseudomonas described in 1894 is one of the most diverse and ubiquitous
bacterial genera which encompass species isolated worldwide. In the last years more than …

Plant-associated microbes play vital roles in promoting plant growth and health, with plants
secreting root exudates into the rhizosphere to attract beneficial microbes. Exudate …

Pseudomonas is a large and diverse genus of Gammaproteobacteria. To provide a
framework for discovery of evolutionary and taxonomic relationships of these bacteria, we …

Background Plant-beneficial bacterial inoculants are of great interest in agriculture as they
have the potential to promote plant growth and health. However, the inoculation of the …

Endophytic bacteria, living inside plants, are competent plant colonizers, capable of
enhancing immune responses in plants and establishing a mutual relationship with them …
