TL;DR: The information emerging from this genome expression profiling and the detailed investigation of the biological role of candidate genes, as targets of phenol toxicity or as determinants of Phenol resistance in P. putida KT2440, will allow more rationale strategies for developing bacteria with greater solvent tolerance with impact in bioremediation and whole‐cell biotransformations in media with organic solvents.

TL;DR: The strategy and the results that emerged from the analysis of the first 389 genomes confirm that P. aeruginosa strains can be divided into three major groups that are further divided into subgroups, some not previously reported in the literature.

TL;DR: Results strongly indicate a physico-chemical difference in the membrane effect of both the partitioning and localisation of the different alcohols into the membrane and the membrane adaptive responses of the bacteria to these effects.

TL;DR: Broad-host-range plasmid RK2-based promoter probe vectors with a known nucleotide sequence were constructed and indicated that the properties observed in E. coli are maintained across the species barriers.

TL;DR: The observations suggest that selection on B. multivorans populations during long-term colonization of CF patient lungs either directly or indirectly targets adherence, metabolism, and changes in the cell envelope related to adaptation to the biofilm lifestyle.
