Microorganisms can colonize and subsequently form biofilms on surfaces, which protect
them from adverse conditions and make them more resistant than their planktonic free‐living …

The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein is the founding member of the FUR superfamily of
metalloregulatory proteins that control metal homeostasis in bacteria. FUR proteins regulate …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen and is the primary cause of
nosocomial infections. Biofilm formation by this organism results in chronic and hard to …

Aim: The work aimed to study the morphology of colonies and their comparison by features
of the formation of Yersinia enterocolitica biofilms. Materials and Methods: Bacteria were …

Diversifying radiation of domain families within specific lineages of life indicates the
importance of their functionality for the organisms. The foundation for the diversifying …

The two-component signal transduction (TCS) machinery is a key mechanism of sensing
environmental changes in the prokaryotic world. TCS systems have been characterized …

Cyclic dinucleotides (cDNs) act as intracellular second messengers, modulating bacterial
physiology to regulate the fundamental life style transition between motility and sessility …

Shewanella spp. play important ecological and biogeochemical roles, due in part to their
versatile metabolism and swift integration of stimuli. While Shewanella spp. are primarily …

Cadmium is a highly toxic heavy metal for biological systems. Cupriavidus metallidurans
CH34 is a model strain to study heavy metal resistance and bioremediation as it is able to …

Vibrio parahaemolyticus rapidly colonizes surfaces using swarming motility. Surface contact
induces the surface-sensing regulon, including lateral flagellar genes, spurring dramatic …
