TL;DR: Pseudomonas putida and related subspecies, traditionally known as well-performing xenobiotic degraders, are becoming efficient cell factories for various products of industrial relevance including a full range of unnatural chemicals.

TL;DR: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a human pathogen that frequently causes urinary tract and catheter-associated urinary tract infections as discussed by the authors, however, it does not have the ability to metabolize glucose.

TL;DR: Simulated cocoa fermentation was investigated at the level of metabolic pathway fluxes (fluxome) of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which are typically found in the microbial consortium known to convert nutrients from the cocoa pulp into organic acids and revealed major differences in their fluxes.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that S. oneidensis was not stably incorporated into the biofilm; rather, the planktonic presence of S.oneidensis has a positive effect on the bio film growth of G. sulfurreducens and thus on current production.

TL;DR: The obtained quorum sensing response results in an increased production of virulence factors like the extracellular lipase LipA and protease LasB and AprA explaining the harmful cause of these infections.
