Iron is an essential trace element for most organisms. A common way for bacteria to acquire
this nutrient is through the secretion of siderophores, which are secondary metabolites that …

Some members of root-associated Bacillus species have been developed as biocontrol
agents due to their contribution to plant protection by directly interfering with the growth of …

Neonates are highly susceptible to infection with enteric pathogens, but the underlying
mechanisms are not resolved. We show that neonatal chick colonization with Salmonella …

Bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas and Bacillus can promote plant growth and protect
plants from pathogens. However, the interactions between these plant-beneficial bacteria …

Microbial community is the primary driver causing the greenhouse gas emissions in
composting. Thus, regulating the microbial communities is a strategy to reduce them. Here …

Siderophores are soluble or membrane-embedded molecules that bind the oxidized form of
iron, Fe (III), and play roles in iron acquisition by microorganisms. Fe (III)-bound …

Bacillus velezensis is considered as model species for plant-associated bacilli providing
benefits to its host such as protection against phytopathogens. This is mainly due to the …

Soil bacteria are prolific producers of a myriad of biologically active secondary metabolites.
These natural products play key roles in modern society, finding use as anti-cancer agents …

Iron (Fe) is the most important metal in biology. Despite its abundance, Fe is mostly present
as a ferric form in soils, strongly limiting its bioavailability. To overcome the challenge of Fe …

Background Microbe-microbe interactions between members of the plant rhizosphere are
important but remain poorly understood. A more comprehensive understanding of the …
