Substrate utilization by endophytic bacteria Paenibacillus polymyxa P2b-2R that may facilitate bacterial entrance and survival inside diverse plant hosts

FACETS, 2017
Bacterial endophytes are thought to enter plants either through pre-existing openings in plant tissues or by creating openings by hydrolyzing major plant cell wall components.

Functional analysis of multiple nifB genes of Paenibacillus strains in synthesis of Mo-, Fe- and V-nitrogenases

Microbial Cell Factories, 2021
Background Biological nitrogen fixation is catalyzed by Mo-, V- and Fe-nitrogenases that are encoded by nif, vnf and anf genes, respectively. NifB is the key protein in synthesis of the cofactors of all nitrogenases.

In vitro evaluation of some isolated bacteria against the plant parasite nematode Meloidogyne incognita

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2019
Background Microbial cultures are extensively used as environment friendly ways for biological control of parasitic pests, including the root-knot nematodes, alternative to the use of chemical nematicides.

From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

Small, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

Antibacterial Gene Transfer Across the Tree of Life [PDF]

, 2014
Though horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is widespread, genes and taxa experience biased rates of transferability. Curiously, independent transmission of homologous DNA to archaea, bacteria, eukaryotes, and viruses is extremely rare and often defies ...

The Volatile Pentadecane From Bacillus Alleviates Plant Iron Deficiency Through Activating the Reduction‐Based Fe Uptake System

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. Rhizosphere microorganisms play crucial roles in plant Fe nutrition, yet the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we assessed the effect of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by Bacillus velezensis SQR9 on Fe uptake in Arabidopsis, elucidated ...

Enhancement of Nitrogenase Activity in Recombinant Escherichia coli by Replacing Upstream Region of nif Operon from Paenibacillus Species

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 3, February 2026.
Biological N2 fixation by nitrogenase offers a sustainable alternative to the Haber–Bosch process. Heterologous nitrogenase production in Escherichia coli is a promising strategy. We engineered E. coli with nitrogen fixation (nif) operons from diazotrophic Paenibacillus species.
