Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) enhance plant growth, as well as protect plants
from several biotic and abiotic stresses through a variety of mechanisms. Therefore, the …

The vast majority of genomic sequences are automatically annotated using various software
programs. The accuracy of these annotations depends heavily on the very few manual …

Many bacteria in nature exist in multicellular communities termed biofilms, where cells are
embedded in an extracellular matrix that provides rigidity to the biofilm and protects cells …

Modern molecular microbiology elucidates the organizational principles of bacterial biofilms
via detailed examination of the interplay between signaling and gene regulation. A …

Hard dental tissues possess a complex hierarchical structure that is particularly evident in
enamel, the most mineralised substance in the human body. Its complex and interlinked …
