The rhizosphere microbiome: significance of plant beneficial, plant pathogenic, and human pathogenic microorganisms

Rodrigo Mendes, Paolina Garbeva, Jos M. Raaijmakers · 24 Jun 2013

Microbial communities play a pivotal role in the functioning of plants by influencing their physiology and development. While many members of the rhizosphere microbiome are beneficial to plant growth, also plant pathogenic microorganisms colonize the rhizosphere striving to break through the protective microbial shield and to overcome the innate plant defense mechanisms in order to…

Bacterial iron homeostasis

Simon C. Andrews, Andrea K. Robinson, Francisco Rodríguez‐Quiñones · 13 May 2003

Iron is essential to virtually all organisms, but poses problems of toxicity and poor solubility. Bacteria have evolved various mechanisms to counter the problems imposed by their iron dependence, allowing them to achieve effective iron homeostasis under a range of iron regimes. Highly efficient iron acquisition systems are used to scavenge iron from the environment…

The gut microbiota of insects – diversity in structure and function

Philipp Engel, Nancy A. Moran · 21 May 2013

Insect guts present distinctive environments for microbial colonization, and bacteria in the gut potentially provide many beneficial services to their hosts. Insects display a wide range in degree of dependence on gut bacteria for basic functions. Most insect guts contain relatively few microbial species as compared to mammalian guts, but some insects harbor large gut…

Peptidoglycan structure and architecture

Waldemar Vollmer, Didier Blanot, Miguel A. de Pedro · 16 Feb 2008

The peptidoglycan (murein) sacculus is a unique and essential structural element in the cell wall of most bacteria. Made of glycan strands cross-linked by short peptides, the sacculus forms a closed, bag-shaped structure surrounding the cytoplasmic membrane. There is a high diversity in the composition and sequence of the peptides in the peptidoglycan from different…

Fungal laccases – occurrence and properties

Petr Baldrián · 9 Feb 2006

Laccases of fungi attract considerable attention due to their possible involvement in the transformation of a wide variety of phenolic compounds including the polymeric lignin and humic substances. So far, more than a 100 enzymes have been purified from fungal cultures and characterized in terms of their biochemical and catalytic properties. Most ligninolytic fungal species…
