Biofilm formation and cellulose expression among diverse environmental Pseudomonas isolates (2006)
Journal Article
Ude, S., Arnold, D. L., Moon, C. D., Timms-Wilson, T., & Spiers, A. J. (2006). Biofilm formation and cellulose expression among diverse environmental Pseudomonas isolates. Environmental Microbiology, 8(11), 1997-2011. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1462-2920.2006.01080.x

The ability to form biofilms is seen as an increasingly important colonization strategy among both pathogenic and environmental bacteria. A survey of 185 plant-associated, phytopathogenic, soil and river Pseudomonas isolates resulted in 76% producing...

Exposure to host resistance mechanisms drives evolution of bacterial virulence in plants (2005)
Journal Article
Pitman, A. R., Jackson, R. W., Mansfield, J. W., Kaitell, V., Thwaites, R., & Arnold, D. L. (2005). Exposure to host resistance mechanisms drives evolution of bacterial virulence in plants. Current Biology, 15(24), 2230-2235. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2005.10.074

Bacterial pathogenicity to plants and animals has evolved through an arms race of attack and defense. Key players are bacterial effector proteins, which are delivered through the type III secretion system and suppress basal defenses [1]. In plants, v...

Molecular characterization of avrPphD, a widely-distributed gene from Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola involved in non-host recognition by pea (Pisum sativum) (2001)
Journal Article
Vivian, A., Taylor, J. D., Mansfield, J. W., Jackson, R. W., Arnold, D. L., Arnold, D. L., …Vivian, A. (2001). Molecular characterization of avrPphD, a widely-distributed gene from Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola involved in non-host recognition by pea (Pisum sativum). Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology, 58(2), 55-62. https://doi.org/10.1006/pmpp.2000.0315

A genomic library clone, pPPY40, from Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola was previously shown to consist of two regions: region I potentially encoded an avirulence gene involved in non-host recognition in pea and region II contained a replicase ge...
