Meeting the increasing food and energy demands of a growing population will require the
development of ground-breaking strategies that promote sustainable plant production. Host-…

Head blight, which is caused by mycotoxin-producing fungi of the genus Fusarium, is an
economically important crop disease. We assessed the potential of host-induced gene silencing …

Singlet oxygen is generated by bacteriochlorophylls when light and oxygen are simultaneously
present in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Singlet oxygen triggers a specific response that is …

Exposure to oxygen and light generates photooxidative stress by the bacteriochlorophyll a
mediated formation of singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) in the facultative photosynthetic bacterium …

Bacteria adapt to changing environmental conditions by rapid changes in their transcriptome.
This is achieved not only by adjusting rates of transcription but also by processing and …

The conversion of synthesis gas to hydrocarbons in the Fischer‐Tropsch (FT) synthesis
suffers from a broad product distribution not directly providing high fuel quality. This work, …

Singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) is the main agent of photooxidative stress and is generated by
photosensitizers as (bacterio)chlorophylls. It leads to the damage of cellular macromolecules and …

Cell division and cell wall synthesis mechanisms are similarly conserved among bacteria.
Consequently some bacterial species have comparable sets of genes organized in the dcw (…

Full article: 6S RNA in Rhodobacter sphaeroides: 6S RNA and pRNA transcript levels peak
in late exponential phase and gene deletion causes a high salt stress phenotype Skip to …

As a free‐living bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides needs to respond to many environmental
stresses. Oxidative stress, membrane stress or heat stress induce the ompR‐1 gene …
