Mechanism and Breeding Application of Bacterial Blight Gene in Rice
Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world. Rice disease is a major threat to its yield loss. Bacterial blight caused by the gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv.

Are alkane hydroxylase genes (alkB) relevant to assess petroleum bioremediation processes in chronically polluted coastal sediments? [PDF]
The diversity of alkB-related alkane hydroxylase sequences and the relationship between alkB gene expres- sion and the hydrocarbon contamination level have been investigated in the chronically polluted Etang-de-Berre sediments. For this purpose, these

Denitrification: from genes to ecosystems [PDF]
Denitrification is a part of the global nitrogen cycle in which fixed nitrogen in the biosphere is returned to the atmosphere, which is mediated by diverse communities of microorganisms. This thesis seeks to gain a greater understanding of the ecology of

Integrated regulation of the type III secretion system and other virulence determinants in Ralstonia solanacearum [PDF]
In many plant and animal bacterial pathogens, the Type III secretion system (TTSS) that directly translocates effector proteins into the eukaryotic host cells is essential for the development of disease.

MLST revisited: the gene-by-gene approach to bacterial genomics [PDF]
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was proposed in 1998 as a portable sequence-based method for identifying clonal relationships among bacteria. Today, in the whole-genome era of microbiology, the need for systematic, standardized descriptions of bacterial genotypic variation remains a priority.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
