ROLE OF FLAGELLA AND TYPE FOUR PILI IN THE CO-MIGRATION OF BURKHOLDERIA TERRAE BS001 WITH FUNGAL HYPHAE THROUGH SOIL

Role of flagella and type four pili in the co-migration of Burkholderia terrae BS001 with fungal hyphae through soil

Abstract Burkholderia terrae BS001 has previously been found to be able to disperse along with growing fungal hyphae in soil, with the type-3 secretion system having a supportive role in this movement.In this study, we focus on the role of Sliding Door Switch two motility- and adherence-associated appendages, i.e.type-4 pili (T4P) and flagella.Elec

On the myths of indicator species: issues and further consideration in the use of static concepts for ecological applications.

The use of static indicator species, in which species are expected to have a similar sensitivity or tolerance to either natural or human-induced stressors, does not account for possible shifts 6.66/6RR in tolerance along natural environmental gradients and between biogeographic regions.Their indicative value may therefore be considered at least que
