TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the observed PCR bias most likely occurs because the genomic DNA of some species contains segments outside the amplified sequence that inhibit the initial PCR steps, and community diversity analysis based on PCR amplification of 16S rDNA can be improved by extending the procedure.

TL;DR: A nonswarming Serratia liquefaciens mutant deficient in serrawettin W2 production was constructed by transposon mutagenesis as mentioned in this paper, which indicated that insertion had occurred in gene swrA, which encodes a putative peptide synthetase.

TL;DR: A pattern of general cross-protection develops, which enables the cells to survive environmental stresses such as high and low temperatures, elevated osmolarity, solvents, and oxidative agents, and in contrast, strain KT2442 does not survive well under conditions of sulfate and phosphate starvation.

TL;DR: The data suggest that E. coli BJ4 grows at an overall high rate in the intestine, and that the intestine consists of two populations, one in the mucus which has an apparent generation time of 40 to 80 min andOne in the luminal contents which is static.

TL;DR: Investigation of the survival, cell length, and development of general stress resistance in populations of Pseudomonas fluorescens R2f and its rifampin-resistant mutant, R 2f Rpr, following exposure to carbon starvation conditions and residence in two different soils revealed enhanced resistance to otherwise lethal treatments.
