Microbial enhancement of plant nutrient acquisition [PDF]

Stress Biology, 2022
Nutrient availability is a determining factor for crop yield and quality. While fertilization is a major approach for improving plant nutrition, its efficacy can be limited and the production and application of fertilizers frequently bring problems to ...

Plant and pathogen nutrient acquisition strategies [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Nutrients are indispensable elements required for the growth of all living organisms including plants and pathogens. Phyllosphere, rhizosphere, apoplast, phloem, xylem and cell organelles are the nutrient niches in plants that are the target of bacterial

Nutrient Acquisition and Metabolism by Campylobacter jejuni [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
The gastrointestinal pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is able to colonize numerous different hosts and compete against the gut microbiota. To do this, it must be able to efficiently acquire sufficient nutrients from its environment to support its survival ...

Nutrient acquisition strategies by gut microbes. [PDF]

Cell Host Microbe
The composition and function of the gut microbiota are intimately tied to nutrient acquisition strategies and metabolism, with significant implications for host health. Both dietary and host-intrinsic factors influence community structure and the basic modes of bacterial energy metabolism.

Identifying potential nutrient acquisition mechanisms for long-term survival: adaptive evolution of Halomonas isolated from subseafloor crustal fluids [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
In nature, microbes must often survive for long periods of time under conditions of nutrient and carbon limitation while also facing extremes in temperature, pressure, and competition with other microbes.

Accumulation in nutrient acquisition strategies of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots in poor and heterogeneous soils of karst shrub ecosystems [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and roots play important roles in plant nutrient acquisition, especially in nutrient poor and heterogeneous soils.

The Role of Autophagy in Intracellular Pathogen Nutrient Acquisition [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015
Following entry into host cells intracellular pathogens must simultaneously evade innate host defense mechanisms and acquire energy and anabolic substrates from the nutrient-limited intracellular environment.

Kir2.1-mediated membrane potential promotes nutrient acquisition and inflammation through regulation of nutrient transporters. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2022
AbstractImmunometabolism contributes to inflammation, but how activated macrophages acquire extracellular nutrients to fuel inflammation is largely unknown. Here, we show that the plasma membrane potential (Vm) of macrophages mediated by Kir2.1, an inwardly-rectifying K+ channel, is an important determinant of nutrient acquisition and subsequent ...

Cryptococcal nutrient acquisition and pathogenesis: dining on the host. [PDF]

Microbiol Mol Biol Rev
SUMMARY Pathogens must acquire essential nutrients to successfully colonize and proliferate in host tissue. Additionally, nutrients provide signals that condition pathogen deployment of factors that promote disease.

Hijacking host cell vesicular transport: New insights into the nutrient acquisition mechanism of Chlamydia [PDF]

Virulence
Chlamydia infection is an important cause of public health diseases, and no effective vaccine is currently available. Owing to its unique intracellular lifestyle, Chlamydia requires a variety of nutrients and substrates from host cells, particularly ...
