Rhizobia adopt many different lifestyles including survival in soil, growth in the rhizosphere,
attachment to root hairs and infection and growth within legume roots, both in infection …

Bacterial signalling known as quorum sensing (QS) relies on the synthesis of autoinducing
signals throughout growth; when a threshold concentration is reached, these signals interact …

Plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere are the determinants of plant health,
productivity and soil fertility. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are bacteria that can …

Background The rhizosphere is the microbe-rich zone around plant roots and is a key
determinant of the biosphere's productivity. Comparative transcriptomics was used to …

Biofilms are bacterial communities enclosed within an extracellular matrix of
polysaccharides produced by the bacteria, which adhere to a living or an inert macrosurface …

Rhizobia are soil proteobacteria able to engage in a nitrogen-fixing symbiotic interaction
with legumes that involves the rhizobial infection of roots and the bacterial invasion of new …

Rhizobia are Gram-negative bacteria that can exist either as free-living bacteria or as
nitrogen-fixing symbionts inside root nodules of leguminous plants. The composition of the …

Legumes are a highly important source of food, feed, and biofuel crops. With a few
exceptions, these plants can enter into a complex symbiotic relationship with specific soil …

Since the seminal observation that bacterial cells produce intracellular molecules that trigger
bioluminescence, 1 a great deal has been learned regarding the process now termed …

Soil-dwelling bacteria collectively referred to as rhizobia synthesize and perceive N-acyl-
homoserine lactone (AHL) signals to regulate gene expression in a population density …
