Opening Study on the Development of a New Biosensor for Metal Toxicity Based on Pseudomonas fluorescens Pyoverdine [PDF]
Biosensors, 2013 To date, different kinds of biosensing elements have been used effectively for environmental monitoring. Microbial cells seem to be well-suited for this task: they are cheap, adaptable to variable field conditions and give a measurable response to a ...

Iron Acquisition from Fe-Pyoverdine by Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007 Taking into account the strong iron competition in the rhizosphere and the high affinity of pyoverdines for Fe(III), these molecules are expected to interfere with the iron nutrition of plants, as they do with rhizospheric microbes.

Total substitution and partial modification of the set of non-ribosomal peptide synthetases clusters lead to pyoverdine diversity in the Pseudomonas fluorescens complex. [PDF]
Front MicrobiolPyoverdines are high affinity siderophores produced by most Pseudomonas with a wide role in microbial interspecies interactions. They are primarily composed of a conserved chromophore moiety, an acyl side chain and a peptide backbone which may be highly ...

Patient-Specific Coculture of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa Enhances Epithelial Barrier Disruption and Virulence in CRS. [PDF]
Int Forum Allergy RhinolABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is associated with polymicrobial infections, often involving S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. It is unclear whether the polymicrobial context plays a role in exacerbating epithelial damage, inflammation, and resistance to therapy. Methods S. aureus and P. aeruginosa (n =
