A polyyne toxin produced by an antagonistic bacterium blinds and lyses a Chlamydomonad alga
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021-08)Algae are key contributors to global carbon fixation and form the basis of many food webs. In nature, their growth is often supported or suppressed by microorganisms. The bacterium Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 arrests the ... -
Genome sequence, phylogenetic analysis, and structure-based annotation reveal metabolic potential of Chlorella sp. SLA-04
(Elsevier BV, 2023-01)Algae are a broad class of photosynthetic eukaryotes that are phylogenetically and physiologically diverse. Most of the phylogenetic diversity has been inferred from 18S rDNA sequencing since there are only a few complete ... -
Development of potent isoflavone-based formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) antagonists and their effects in gastric cancer cell models
(Elsevier BV, 2023-12)Formyl peptide receptor-1 (FPR1) is a G protein-coupled chemoattractant receptor that plays a crucial role in the trafficking of leukocytes into the sites of bacterial infection and inflammation. Recently, FPR1 was shown ... -
A DeoR-Type Transcription Regulator Is Required for Sugar-Induced Expression of Type III Secretion-Encoding Genes in Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000
(Scientific Societies, 2020-03)The type III secretion system (T3SS) of plant-pathogenic Pseudomonas syringae is essential for virulence. Genes encoding the T3SS are not constitutively expressed and must be induced upon infection. Plant-derived metabolites, ... -
First Report of Powdery Mildew Caused by Erysiphe cruciferarum on Camelina sativa in Montana
(Scientific Societies, 2022-07)Camelina sativa, also known as false flax, is an annual flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae that originated in Europe and Asia. In recent years, it has been cultivated as an important biofuel crop in Europe, Canada, ... -
Effect of the Monothiol Glutaredoxin GrxD on 2,4-Diacetylphloroglucinol Biosynthesis and Biocontrol Activity of Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-07)Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24 is a plant root-associated bacterium that suppresses several soilborne plant diseases due to its production of the antibiotic 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG). The biosynthesis of 2,4-DAPG ... -
Identification and Characterization of Bacteria-Derived Antibiotics for the Biological Control of Pea Aphanomyces Root Rot
(MDPI AG, 2022-08)Antibiosis has been proposed to contribute to the beneficial bacteria-mediated biocontrol against pea Aphanomyces root rot caused by the oomycete pathogen Aphanomyces euteiches. However, the antibiotics required for disease ... -
Citrate Synthase GltA Modulates the 2,4-Diacetylphloroglucinol Biosynthesis of Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24 and is Essential for the Biocontrol Capacity
(American Chemical Society, 2023-07)Carbon metabolism is critical for microbial physiology and remarkably affects the outcome of secondary metabolite production. The production of 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG), a bacterial secondary metabolite with ... -
Neuroprotective Effects of Tryptanthrin-6-Oxime in a Rat Model of Transient Focal Cerebral Ischemia
(MDPI AG, 2023-07)The activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) plays an important role in stroke outcomes. Tryptanthrin-6-oxime (TRYP-Ox) is reported to have high affinity for JNK and anti-inflammatory activity and may be of interest as ... -
Effects of water surplus on prevented planting in the US Corn Belt for corn and soybeans
(IOP Publishing, 2023-09)Record-high prevented planting of staple crops such as corn and soybeans in the United States (US) Corn Belt due to heavy rainfall in recent years has spurred concern over crop production, as growing evidence suggests ... -
Immunomodulatory Activity of Polysaccharides Isolated from Saussurea salicifolia L. and Saussurea frolovii Ledeb
(MDPI AG, 2023-09)The genus Saussurea has been used in the preparation of therapies for a number of medical problems, yet not much is known about the therapeutic high-molecular-weight compounds present in extracts from these plants. Since ... -
Exopolysaccharide is required for motility, stress tolerance, and plant colonization by the endophytic bacterium Paraburkholderia phytofirmans PsJN
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023-08)Paraburkholderia phytofirmans PsJN is an endophytic bacterium and has been shown to promote the growth and health of many different plants. Exopolysaccharide (EPS) plays important roles in plant-bacteria interaction and ... -
Suppression force-fields and diffuse competition: competition de-escalation is an evolutionarily stable strategy
(The Royal Society, 2023-08)Competition theory is founded on the premise that individuals benefit from harming their competitors, which helps them secure resources and prevent inhibition by neighbours. When multiple individuals compete, however, ... -
Generic Aversion and Observational Learning in the Over-the-Counter Drug Market
(American Economic Association, 2023-07)Through a labeling intervention at a national retailer, we test three hypotheses for consumer aversion to generic over-the-counter drugs: lack of information on the comparability of generic and brand drugs, inattention to ... -
Reconstitution of some tribes and genera of Lagriinae (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae)
(Pensoft Publishers, 2023-07)The tribes Goniaderini Lacordaire, 1859 and Lupropini Lesne, 1926 within the tenebrionid subfamily Lagriinae Latreille, 1825 have previously been shown to be non-monophyletic by molecular phylogenetic analyses. The tribes ... -
The Toothpick Project: commercialization of a virulence-selected fungal bioherbicide for Striga hermonthica (witchweed) biocontrol in Kenya
(Wiley, 2023-09)The high-level view of global food systems identifies three all-encompassing barriers to the adoption of food systems solutions: knowledge, policy, and finance. These barriers, and the siloed characteristics of each of ... -
Genetic dissection of endosperm hydration in malting barley (Hordeum vulgare)
(Wiley, 2023-08)Hydration of the endosperm is a critical part of the malting process that ensures proper modification of the grain. However, little is known about the genetic controls of endosperm hydration and its relationship to agronomic ... -
Chelostoma Latreille, 1809 (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) of Montana, including first records of the introduced bees Chelostoma campanularum (Kirby, 1802) and Chelostoma rapunculi (Lepeletier, 1841)
