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 …

Plants interact with a large number of microorganisms that greatly influence their growth and
health. Among the beneficial microorganisms, rhizosphere bacteria known as Plant Growth …

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 …

Carotenoids constitute an important component of the defense system against
photooxidative stress in bacteria. In Azospirillum brasilense Sp7, a nonphotosynthetic …

Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 produces PHB, which is covered by granule-associated
proteins (GAPs). Phasins are the main GAPs. Previous studies have shown phasins can …

PG 0162, annotated as an extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor in Porphyromonas
gingivalis, is composed of 193 amino acids. As previously reported, the PG 0162‐deficient …

Fasciclin domain proteins (FDP) are found in all domains of life, but their biological role and
regulation are not clearly understood. While studying the proteome of a mutant (Car1) of …

Abstract Extra Cytoplasmic Function (ECF) σ factor/regulatory protein (anti-σ factor) pairs
govern environment mediated changes in gene expression in bacteria. The release of the …

Azospirillum brasilense is a non-photosynthetic member of the family Rhodospirillaceae.
Some strains of this bacterium are reported to produce bacterioruberin type of carotenoids …

Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been used extensively for
heterologous production of a variety of secondary metabolites. Neither has an endogenous …
