Flavobacterium psychrophilum affects salmonid health worldwide and causes economic losses. The genetic diversity of the pathogen must be considered to develop control methods. However, previous studies have reported both high and low levels of genetic diversity. The present longitudinal study aimed at assessing the genetic diversity of F. psychroph...

Francisella tularensis, causative agent of the zoonotic disease tularemia, can cause seasonal outbreaks of acute febrile illness in humans with disease peaks in late summer to autumn. Interestingly, its mechanisms for environmental persistence between outbreaks are poorly understood. One hypothesis is that F. tularensis forms biofilm in aquatic env...

Rhizodegradation is a promising cleanup technology where microorganisms degrade soil contaminants in the rhizosphere. A symbiotic relationship is expected to occur between plant roots and soil microorganisms in contaminated soils that enhances natural microbial degradation. However, little is known about how different initial microbiotas influence ...

CRISPR-Cas systems provide bacteria and archaea with adaptive immunity against viruses and plasmids by detection and cleavage of invading foreign DNA. Modified versions of this system can be exploited as a biotechnological tool for precise genome editing at a targeted locus. Here, we developed a replicative plasmid that carries the CRISPR-Cas9 syst...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) presenting the spa type t899 is commonly associated with sequence type (ST) 9, but also increasingly linked to ST398. This study provides a genomic insight into the diversity of t899 isolates using cgMLST, SNP-based phylogeny and the description of selected antimicrobial resistance and virulence ma...

Amoebae are protists that have complicated relationships with bacteria, covering the whole spectrum of symbiosis. Amoeba-bacterium interactions contribute to the study of predation, symbiosis, pathogenesis, and human health. Given the complexity of their relationships, it is necessary to understand the ecology and evolution of their interactions. I...

Prodigiosin (PG), a red linear tripyrrole pigment normally secreted by Serratia marcescens, has received attention for its reported immunosuppressive, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. Although several genes have been shown to be important for prodigiosin synthesis, information on the regulatory mechanisms behind this cellular process remai...

Heterotrophic microbes play a key role in remineralizing organic material in the coastal ocean. While there is a significant body of literature examining heterotrophic bacterioplankton and phytoplankton communities, much less is known about the diversity, dynamics, and ecology of eukaryotic heterotrophs. Here, we focus on the Labyrinthulomycetes, a...
