Membrane Depolarization and Apoptosis-Like Cell Death in an Alkaline Environment in the Rice Pathogen Burkholderia glumae
The rice pathogen Burkholderia glumae uses amino acids as a principal carbon source and thus produces ammonia in amino acid-rich culture medium such as Luria–Bertani (LB) broth. To counteract ammonia-mediated environmental alkaline toxicity, the bacterium produces a public good, oxalate, in a quorum...
