TL;DR: Considering the crucial role for food and the diversity of mechanisms involved in growth promotion and microbial protection, potato constitutes a historical and accurate model in developing new biocontrol strategies.

TL;DR: Results indicate that MFE01 can protect potato tubers against Pectobacterium atrosepticum, which causes tuber soft rot and suggest that there may be a connection between the T6SS and the PGPR properties of this bacterium.

TL;DR: A role for the T6SS in communication between bacterial cells, in this strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens, under biofilm conditions is suggested, and another Hcp protein, Hcp3, is involved in killing prey cells during co-culture on solid medium.

TL;DR: It appears that the two genera of soft-rot bacteria have similarities but also differences in the mechanisms of communication via the diffusible molecules, with autoinducer-1 lactones as the main targets for a global biocontrol ofsoft-rotacteria communications, including those of emerging isolates.

TL;DR: Rhodococcus bacteria have the ability to disrupt the quorum sensing-based communication of P. atrosepticum by degrading N-acyl-homoserine lactone signaling molecules and prevent disease.
