Regulation of copper homeostasis in Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25.
Xue-Xian Zhang,Paul B. Rainey +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the Cue and Cop systems are integral to copper homeostasis in P. fluorescens SBW25 with one being active at low-copper environments and bringing copper into the cell, and the other being active in high-coppers environments and serving to export excess copper.
Clinical utilization of genomics data produced by the international Pseudomonas aeruginosa consortium

TL;DR: The strategy and the results that emerged from the analysis of the first 389 genomes confirm that P. aeruginosa strains can be divided into three major groups that are further divided into subgroups, some not previously reported in the literature.
The biosurfactant viscosin produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 aids spreading motility and plant growth promotion

TL;DR: This work describes and investigates an atypical mode of motility in Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 that was revealed only after flagellum production was eliminated by deletion of the master regulator fleQ, and suggests that this 'spidery spreading' is a type of surface motility.
Autolysis and Autoaggregation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Colony Morphology Mutants
TL;DR: Strains with the most pronounced lysis overproduced the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS), an extracellular signal that interacts with quorum sensing, which suggests a fine balance in natural populations of P. aeruginosa between survival of the many and persistence of the few.
Evolutionary convergence in experimental Pseudomonas populations
TL;DR: Genetic analyses of the relationships between the diguanylate cyclases WspR, AwsR and MwsR, and both cellulose and PGA suggest that c-di-GMP regulatory networks may have been shaped by evolution to accommodate loss and gain of exopolysaccharide modules facilitating adaptation to new environments.
