Agricultural plants are continuously exposed to environmental stressors, which can lead to a
significant reduction in yield and even the death of plants. One of the ways to mitigate stress …

Methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSRA1 and MSRB) are proteins overproduced in
Staphylococcus aureus during exposure with cell wall-active antibiotics. Later studies …

Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic bacterium of the human body and a leading
cause of nosocomial infections. Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infections involving …

Sulfoxides occur in biology as products of the S-oxygenation of small molecules as well as
in peptides and proteins and their formation is often associated with oxidative stress and can …

Temperature above the physiological optimum is a stress condition frequently faced by
bacteria in their natural environments. Here, we were interested in the correlation between …

Bacterial flagella are complex molecular motors that are essential for locomotion and host
colonization. They consist of 30 different proteins expressed in varying stoichiometries. Their …

Azospirillum-plant cooperation has been mainly studied from an agronomic point of view
leading to a wide description of mechanisms implicated in plant growth-promoting effects …

Azospirillum alphaproteobacteria, which live in the rhizosphere of many crops, are used
widely as biofertilizers. Two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs) mediate the …

Azospirillum brasilense is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium that is not known to
utilize ethanol as a sole source of carbon for growth. This study shows that A. brasilense can …

The genome of Azospirillum brasilense encodes five RpoH sigma factors: two OxyR
transcription regulators and three catalases. The aim of this study was to understand the role …
