Paul B. Rainey,Andrew J. Spiers,Eleni Bantinaki +2 more
- 09 Jul 2001
TL;DR: In this paper, the identifiction of a novel class of bacterial polysaccharide biosynthetic operons and an ovel clas of regulatory operons involved with bacterial attachment and biofilm development is discussed.

Type III Secretion in Root-Colonising Pseudomonas
Gail M. Preston,N. Bertrand,Paul B. Rainey +2 more
- 01 Jan 2001
TL;DR: Pseudomonads enter into intimate associations with plants that can result in either plant growth promotion or cell death and disease, and have been shown to antagonise pathogenic microrganisms, synthesise phytohormones, and to elicit induced systemic resistance (ISR) in hosts.

The use of model Pseudomonas fluorescens populations to study the causes and consequences of microbial diversity.
Paul B. Rainey,Michael A. Brockhurst,Angus Buckling,David J. Hodgson,Rees Kassen +4 more
- 01 Sep 2005
TL;DR: The importance of ecological opportunity and competition in driving diversification of microbial populations has been demonstrated in this paper, showing how productivity, disturbance, and predation can shape patterns of diversity by affecting the outcome of competition and how the observed patterns depend upon environmental complexity.

REPINs are facultative genomic symbionts of bacterial genomes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that short sequence repeats known as REPINs -whose replication is dependent on a non-jumping RAYT transposase -form a similar facultative symbiotic relationship with the bacterial chromosome.
Causes and consequences of cellulose production by Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 at the air-liquid interface
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reveal that in static broth microcosms ancestral Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 encounters environmental signals at the air-liquid interface that activate, via three diguanylate cyclase-encoding pathways (Wsp, Aws and Mws), production of cellulose.
