Genetic analysis of the histidine utilization (hut) genes in Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25.
Xue-Xian Zhang,Paul B. Rainey +1 more
TL;DR: Growth and fitness assays in laboratory media and on sugar beet seedlings suggest that HutD acts as a governor that sets an upper bound to the level of hut activity.
Modes of migration and multilevel selection in evolutionary multiplayer games.
TL;DR: This work has incorporated four different modes of migration that differ in the degree of coordination among the individuals, and identifies the set of multiplayer games in which the cooperative strategy has higher fixation probability than defection.
Tuning a genetic switch: experimental evolution and natural variation of prophage induction.
TL;DR: It is shown that the λ switch can respond rapidly to selection for alteration in sensitivity and threshold, and the adaptive significance of a finely tuned switch is emphasized and selective factors shaping prophage induction in natural phage populations are drawn attention.
A leader cell triggers end of lag phase in populations of Pseudomonas fluorescens
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used a millifluidic droplet device in which the growth dynamics of hundreds of populations founded by controlled numbers of Pseudomonas fluorescens cells were followed in real time.
Comparison of Three Molecular Techniques for Typing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates in Sputum Samples from Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
Timothy J. Kidd,Timothy J. Kidd,Keith Grimwood,Keith Grimwood,Kay A. Ramsay,Kay A. Ramsay,Paul B. Rainey,Scott C. Bell,Scott C. Bell +8 more
TL;DR: MLST represents a categorical analysis tool with resolving power similar to that of PFGE for typing P. aeruginosa, and its focus on highly conserved housekeeping genes is particularly suited for long-term clinical monitoring and detecting novel strains.
