Engineering of 1,4‐Butanediol and Adipic Acid Metabolism in Pseudomonas taiwanensis for Upcycling to Aromatic Compounds

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2025.
Growth of an aromatics‐overproducing Pseudomonas taiwanensis on adipate and 1,4‐butanediol was engineered for bio‐upcycling. Adaptive laboratory evolution followed by genome sequencing was used to identify and reverse engineer growth‐enabling mutations.

FimX, a multidomain protein connecting environmental signals to twitching motility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]

, 2003
Twitching motility is a form of surface translocation mediated by the extension, tethering, and retraction of type IV pili. Three independent Tn5-B21 mutations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with reduced twitching motility were identified in a new locus which

Towards the control of biofilm formation in Anabaena (Nostoc) sp. PCC7120: novel insights into the genes involved and their regulation

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 4, Page 1805-1825, August 2025.
Summary Cyanobacteria are major components of biofilms in light‐exposed environments, contributing to nutrient cycling, nitrogen fixation and global biogeochemical processes. Although nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria have been successfully used in biofertilization, the regulatory mechanisms underlying biofilm formation remain poorly understood.

ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq reveal an AmrZ-mediated mechanism for cyclic di-GMP synthesis and biofilm development by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
The transcription factor AmrZ regulates genes important for P. aeruginosa virulence, including type IV pili, extracellular polysaccharides, and the flagellum; however, the global effect of AmrZ on gene expression remains unknown, and therefore, AmrZ may ...

The heme-based oxygen sensor Rhizobium etli FixL: influence of auxiliary ligands on heme redox potential and implications on the enzyme activity [PDF]

, 2016
Conformational changes associated to sensing mechanisms of heme-based protein sensors are a key molecular event that seems to modulate not only the protein activity but also the potential of the Fe redox couple of the heme domain.

Genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of Cronobacter species, with particular attention to the newly reclassified species C. helveticus, C. pulveris, and C. zurichensis [forthcoming] [PDF]

, 2014
In 2013, Enterobacter helveticus, E. pulveris and E. turicensis, were reclassified as Cronobacter helveticus, C. pulveris and C. zurichensis, respectively. Previously these species had been used as negative controls for some Cronobacter detection assays.

Echinacoside reduces intracellular c-di-GMP levels and potentiates tobramycin activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm aggregates

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) is a central biofilm regulator in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, where increased intracellular levels promote biofilm formation and antibiotic tolerance.

Second messenger-mediated tactile response by a bacterial rotary motor [PDF]

, 2017
When bacteria encounter surfaces, they respond with surface colonization and virulence induction. The mechanisms of bacterial mechanosensation and downstream signaling remain poorly understood.

Comparative genomics of Aeschynomene symbionts : insights into the ecological lifestyle of nod-independent photosynthetic Bradyrhizobia [PDF]

, 2011
Tropical aquatic species of the legume genus Aeschynomene are stem- and root-nodulated by bradyrhizobia strains that exhibit atypical features such as photosynthetic capacities or the use of a nod gene-dependent (ND) or a nod gene-independent (NI ...
