TL;DR: A functional genomic in vivo expression technology (IVET) screen provided insight into genes used by P. fluorescens in its natural environment and an improved understanding of the ecological significance of diversity within this species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designer laccases: a vogue for high-potential fungal enzymes?
Caroline J Rodgers,Christopher F. Blanford,Stephen R. Giddens,Pari Skamnioti,Fraser A. Armstrong,Sarah J. Gurr +5 more
TL;DR: The synergistic role of structural biology, particularly in unmasking structure-function relationships following genetic modification and their collective impact on laccase yields are described, which draws closer the prospect of industrial quantities of designer, fit-for-purpose laccases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a novel phenazine antibiotic gene cluster in Erwinia herbicola Eh1087.
TL;DR: A cluster of 16 ehp plasmid genes required for the production of AGA by Eh1087 is described, and a gene that is divergently transcribed from the 15 AGA synthesis ehp genes confers resistance to AGA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutational activation of niche-specific genes provides insight into regulatory networks and bacterial function in a complex environment
Stephen R. Giddens,Robert W. Jackson,Christina D. Moon,Michael A. Jacobs,Xue-Xian Zhang,Stefanie M. Gehrig,Paul B. Rainey +6 more
TL;DR: A genetic strategy with general utility that combines suppressor analysis with IVET (SPyVET) and provides a means of identifying regulators of niche-specific genes is described and used to provide insight into EIL phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome Sequence of the Biocontrol Strain Pseudomonas fluorescens F113
Miguel Redondo-Nieto,Matthieu Barret,John P. Morrisey,Kieran J. Germaine,Francisco Martínez-Granero,Emma Barahona,Ana Navazo,María Sánchez-Contreras,Jennifer A. Moynihan,Stephen R. Giddens,Eric R. Coppoolse,Candela Muriel,Willem J. Stiekema,Paul B. Rainey,David N. Dowling,Fergal O'Gara,Marta Martín,Rafael Rivilla +17 more
TL;DR: Besides a core genome very similar to those of other strains sequenced within this species, F113 possesses a wide array of genes encoding specialized functions for thriving in the rhizosphere and interacting with eukaryotic organisms.
