Amino Acid Availability Determines Plant Immune Homeostasis in the Rhizosphere Microbiome by Yang Liu, Andrew J. Wilson, Jiatong Han, Alisa Hui, Lucy O’Sullivan, Tao Huan, Cara H. Haney

“…Here, we show that gluconic acid biosynthesis is not necessary for immunity suppression by the beneficial bacterial strain Pseudomonas simiae WCS417. We performed a forward genetic screen with EMS-mutagenized P. simiae WCS417 and a flagellin-inducible CYP71A12pro:GUS reporter as a PTI readout. …”

Discovery of New Genes Involved in Curli Production by a Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Strain from the Highly Virulent O45:K1:H7 Lineage by Nhu, Nguyen Thi Khanh, Phan, Minh-Duy, Peters, Kate M., Lo, Alvin W., Forde, Brian M., Chong, Teik Min, Yin, Wai Fong, Chan, Kok Gan, Chromek, Milan, Brauner, Annelie, Chapman, Matthew R., Beatson, Scott A., Schembri, Mark A., Justice, Sheryl

“…MS7163 produced curli at human physiological temperature, and this correlated with biofilm growth, resistance of sessile cells to the human cationic peptide cathelicidin, and enhanced colonization of the mouse bladder. We devised a forward genetic screen using CR staining as a proxy for curli production and identified 41 genes that were required for optimal CR binding, of which 19 genes were essential for curli synthesis. …”
