Phosphorus (P) acquisition by plants from soil organic P mainly relies on microorganisms.
Examining the community of functional microbes that encode phosphatases (eg PhoD) …

Phosphorus cycling exerts significant influence upon soil fertility and productivity–processes
largely controlled by microbial activity. We adopted phenotypic and metagenomic …

Understanding the relationship between prokaryotic traits and phylogeny is important for
predicting and modeling ecological processes. Microbial extracellular enzymes have a …

Phosphorus (P) is a vital nutrient for all living organisms and may control the growth of
bacteria in the ocean. Bacteria induce alkaline phosphatases when inorganic phosphate …

Bacterial communities can promote increased phosphorus (P) availability for plants and
microbes in soil via various mechanisms of phosphate solubilization. The production of …

The Pho regulon integrates the sensing of environmental inorganic phosphate (Pi)
availability with coregulation of gene expression, mediating an adaptive response to Pi …

The application of phosphate-solubilizing microbes (PSMs) as biofertilizers in agricultural
systems has not satisfactorily solved the problem of reducing our reliance on chemical …

Vibriosis represents the main bottleneck for the larval production process in shellfish
aquaculture. While the signs of this disease in bivalve larvae are well known, the infection …

We have identified a new phoX gene encoding the monomeric alkaline phosphatase from
Pasteurella multocida X-73. This gene was not found in the published genome sequence of …

We report on the biochemical, phylogenetic and genetic regulation of PhoX, the major
alkaline phosphatase protein from the soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti. The protein is …
