Pseudomonas

Scientists identify the coordinated sequence of pili movements that Pseudomonas aeruginosa use to move.

Bacteria coordinate a pilus's movement based on touch.

A compound produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa activates signaling pathways that prevent seeds from growing in unfavorable environments.

Researchers identify antibacterial functions of cell death in Arabidopsis when the plant is infected with Pseudomonas.  

Mice receiving the treatment produced their own monoclonal antibodies and survived infection with the life-threatening pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Anti-CRISPR proteins are prevalent in phage genomes and bacterial mobile genetic elements, researchers show.

In some pathogenic bacteria, certain antibiotic resistance–associated mutations may also confer an unexpected growth advantage.

What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes

A study implicates the breaking up of bacterial biofilms on fatty plaques in arteries as causing stroke or heart attack following stress.

A round-up of recent discoveries in behavior research

Pseudomonas aeruginosa gather swarming speed at the expense of their ability to form biofilms in an experimental evolution setup.

Researchers design a synthetic bacterium that kills the infectious microbe Pseudomonas aeruginosa, sacrificing itself in the process.
