Interaction among bacterial cells triggers exit from lag phase
TL;DR: The experimental results show that exit from lag phase depends on strong interactions among cells, consistent with a “leader-cell” triggering end of lag phase for the entire population.

The ecological genetics of Pseudomonas syringae from kiwifruit leaves
Christina Straub,Elena Colombi,Li Li,Hongwen Huang,Matthew D. Templeton,Honour C. McCann,Paul B. Rainey +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the population structure and genetic diversity of a broad range of co-occurring Pseudomonas syringae isolated from infected and uninfected kiwifruit during an outbreak of bleeding canker disease caused by P. actinidiae (Psa) in New Zealand.

Single-cell imaging of Pseudomonas reveals dynamic polar accumulation of the extracellular iron-scavenger pyoverdin
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used time-lapse fluorescence microscopy to track single cells in growing microcolonies of Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25, showing accumulation of pyoverdin at cell poles.
Rapid dissemination of host-metabolism-manipulating transposon-like entities via integrative and conjugative elements
Elena Colombi,Frederic Bertels,Guilhem Doulcier,Ellen McConnell,Tatyana Pichugina,Kee Hoon Sohn,Christina Straub,Honour C. McCann,Paul B. Rainey +8 more
TL;DR: Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are self-transmissible mobile elements that transfer functional genetic units across broad phylogenetic distances as discussed by the authors , which can make significant contributions to bacterial fitness, yet ICEs that carry accessory genes encoding functions other than antimicrobial resistance remain poorly characterized.
