This review emphasizes the biological roles of the osmoregulated periplasmic glucans
(OPGs). Osmoregulated periplasmic glucans occur in almost all α‐, β‐and γ‐Proteobacteria …

Among all the systems developed by enterobacteria to face osmotic stress, only
osmoregulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs) were found to be modulated during osmotic …

Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. phaseolicola causes halo blight disease in the common bean
Phaseolus vulgaris. The bacterium invades the leaf apoplast and uses a type III secretion …

Controlling spread of human pathogens on fresh produce is a top priority for public health
reasons. Isolation of compounds from agricultural waste that would control spread of human …

Salmonellosis is one of the most common and widely distributed foodborne diseases. The
emergence of Salmonella strains that are resistant to a variety of antimicrobials is a serious …

Extracellular proteins play important roles in bacterial interactions with the environmental
matrices. In this study, we examined the extracellular proteins from Escherichia coli O157 …

Seasonal nitrogen (N) cycling in temperate deciduous trees involves the accumulation of
bark storage proteins (BSPs) in phloem parenchyma and xylem ray cells. BSPs are …

In proteomics, peptide-tandem mass spectrum match scores and target–decoy database
derived false discovery rates (FDR) are confidence indicators describing the quality of …

Mycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi. Recently, mycovirus-like RNAs were sequenced
from the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, the causal agent of soybean rust. One of the RNAs …

Movement of food-borne pathogens on moist surfaces enables them to migrate towards
more favorable niches and facilitate their survival for extended periods of time. Salmonella …
