TL;DR: This work proposes the Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster (MIBiG) data standard, to facilitate consistent and systematic deposition and retrieval of data on biosynthetic gene clusters.

TL;DR: Experiments show that chemotaxis is an important competitive colonization trait for competitive tomato root-tip colonization by Pseudomonas fluorescens and suggested that malic acid and citric acid are among major chemo-attractants for P. fluorescenceens WCS365 cells in the tomato rhizosphere.

TL;DR: The major outer membrane protein OprF from Pseudomonas species displays strong homology to several outer membrane proteins from unrelated species, including OmpA from enteric bacteria, and the extended C-terminal homology is also found in lipoproteins that are tightly, but non-covalently bound to peptidogiycan.

TL;DR: This paper matched the molecular families of peptide natural products produced by 42 bacilli and 18 pseudomonads through the generation of amino acid sequence tags from MS/MS data of specific clusters found in the MS/ MS network, providing the ability to link particular molecules with the genes that produced them.

TL;DR: A genomic perspective on pseudomonad bacteriocinogeny shows that the modular architecture of S pyocins of P. aeruginosa is retained in a large diversified group of bacteriOCins, most of which target DNA or RNA.
