Journal ArticleDOI
Specific detection and real-time PCR quantification of potentially mycophagous bacteria belonging to the genus Collimonas in different soil ecosystems.
TL;DR: The first field inventory of the occurrence and abundance of Collimonas in soils with naturally different fungal densities was performed in order to test the null hypothesis that there is a relationship between the presence ofCollimonas and fungal biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomics of the pIPO2/pSB102 family of environmental plasmids: sequence, evolution, and ecology of pTer331 isolated from Collimonas fungivorans Ter331.
F. Mela,Kathrin Fritsche,Hidde Boersma,Jan Dirk van Elsas,Daniela Bartels,Folker Meyer,Wietse de Boer,Johannes A. van Veen,Johan H. J. Leveau +8 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that cryptic plasmids such as pTer331 and pIPO2 might not confer an individual advantage to bacteria, but, due to their broad-host-range and ability to retromobilize, benefit bacterial populations by accelerating the intracommunal dissemination of the mobile gene pool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthetic genes and activity spectrum of antifungal polyynes from Collimonas fungivorans Ter331
Kathrin Fritsche,Marlies van den Berg,Wietse de Boer,Teris A. van Beek,Jos M. Raaijmakers,Johannes A. van Veen,Johan H. J. Leveau +6 more
TL;DR: Polymerase chain reaction analysis of isolates representing different Collimonas species indicated that the possession of cluster K genes correlated positively with antifungal ability, further strengthening the notion that this cluster is involved in collimomycin production.
Book ChapterDOI
Reporter gene systems useful in evaluating in situ gene expression by soil- and plant-associated bacteria
TL;DR: The discussion in this chapter focuses on the ice nucleation and green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter genes, which have several unique attributes that make them extremely useful in studies evaluating in situ gene expression by bacteria inhabiting natural environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking environmental heterogeneity and reproductive success at single-cell resolution.
TL;DR: Being able to assess population changes bottom-up rather than top-down, the bioreporter offers opportunities to quantify single-cell competitive and facilitative interactions, assess the role of chance events in individual survivorship and reveal causes that underlie individual-based environmental heterogeneity.
