Journal ArticleDOI
Azospirillum, a free-living nitrogen-fixing bacterium closely associated with grasses: genetic, biochemical and ecological aspects
Oda Steenhoudt,Jos Vanderleyden +1 more
TL;DR: Four aspects of the Azospirillum-plant root interaction are highlighted: natural habitat, plant root interaction, nitrogen fixation and biosynthesis of plant growth hormones, and the relevance of each of these four aspects for plant growth promotion by AzospIRillum is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host interactions of probiotic bacterial surface molecules: comparison with commensals and pathogens
TL;DR: This Review highlights the documented signalling interactions of the surface molecules of probiotic bacteria (such as long surface appendages, polysaccharides and lipoteichoic acids) with PRRs with respect to host pattern recognition receptors of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genes and Molecules of Lactobacilli Supporting Probiotic Action
TL;DR: This review addresses the advances in the understanding of the probiotic-host interaction with a focus on the molecular microbiology of lactobacilli, facing the challenge of molecular characterization of probiotic traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomic analysis of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG reveals pili containing a human- mucus binding protein

Kinnunen,Heli Karjalainen,Maija Saxelin,Kati Laakso,Anu Surakka,Airi Palva,Tuomas Salusjärvi,Petri Auvinen,Willem M. de Vos +29 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the presence of SpaC is essential for the mucus interaction of L. rhamnosus GG and likely explains its ability to persist in the human intestinal tract longer than LC705 during an intervention trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quorum sensing and swarming migration in bacteria
TL;DR: The regulation of AHL-mediated surface migration and the involvement of other low-molecular-mass signal molecules (such as the furanosyl borate diester AI-2) in biosurfactant production of different bacteria is discussed.
