Bacterial accessory genes are genomic symbionts with an evolutionary history and future that
is different from that of their hosts. Packages of accessory genes move from strain to strain …

Over the last two decades interest in direct realisation of evolutionary process and the
possibilities presented by real time evolution experiments with microbes have escalated. Long-…

… P. pseudosyringae, were found in all three regions. The species assemblages were similar
in the two Oregon regions, but P. … Other Clade 6 taxa identified in our collection were P. taxon …

The experimental evolution (EE) of microbes has allowed evolutionary biologists to
examine adaptive processes in real time, generating novel insights into fundamental laws of …

Symbiotic interactions such as the nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbiosis (RNS) have structured
ecosystems during the evolution of life. Here we aimed at reconstructing ancestral and …

… Surprisingly, the expression of GALA4 in P. syringae strain ΔCEL did not increase
bacterial multiplication in A. thaliana leaves (data not shown), as is usually the case with PTI-…

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important mode of adaptation and diversification of
prokaryotes and eukaryotes and a major event underlying the emergence of bacterial …

… ); column I is “p-value” (calculated by assuming a binomially distributed read coverage
analogous to Fisher’s exact test [51,61]); and column J is “Adjusted p-value” (the p-value adjusted …

… No significant differences were observed between the number of nodules formed by Fix+
bacteria and Fixbacteria per plant at the different time points (p>0.05, Student t-test with paired …

The response of microbial functional diversity as well as its resistance to stress or disturbances
caused by the introduction of an exotic tree species, Acacia holosericea, ectomycorrhized …
