Pulido-Sanchez M, Leal-Morales A, Lopez-Sanchez A, Cava F, Govantes F
Microbiol Res . 2024 Dec; 292():128033. PMID: 39709681
The Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas putida bears a tuft of flagella at a single cell pole. New flagella must be assembled de novo every cell cycle to secure motility of both...

Lobo-Cabrera F, Herrero M, Govantes F, Cuetos A
J R Soc Interface . 2024 Jun; 21(215):20230618. PMID: 38919988
Here, employing computer simulation tools, we present a study on the development of a bacterial biofilm from a single starter cell on a flat inert surface overlaid by an aqueous...

Garcia-Alberca J, de Rojas I, Sanchez-Mejias E, Garrido-Martin D, Gonzalez-Palma L, Jimenez S, et al.
J Alzheimers Dis . 2024 Mar; 98(2):601-618. PMID: 38427484
Background: Microglial dysfunction plays a causative role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Here we focus on a germline insertion/deletion variant mapping SIRPβ1, a surface receptor that triggers amyloid-β(Aβ) phagocytosis via...

Martinez-Rodriguez L, Lopez-Sanchez A, Garcia-Alcaide A, Govantes F, Gallegos M
Front Mol Biosci . 2023 Apr; 10:1155579. PMID: 37051327
The second messenger cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) controls the transition between motility and sessility in many bacterial species by a variety of mechanisms, including the production of multiple exopolysaccharides. pv. tomato...

Leal-Morales A, Pulido-Sanchez M, Lopez-Sanchez A, Govantes F
Environ Microbiol . 2021 Dec; 24(1):137-157. PMID: 34859548
A single region of the Pseudomonas putida genome, designated the flagellar cluster, includes 59 genes potentially involved in the biogenesis and function of the flagellar system. Here, we combine bioinformatics...
6.
Lobo-Cabrera F, Patti A, Govantes F, Cuetos A
Phys Rev E . 2021 Jun; 103(5-1):052407. PMID: 34134235
Microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, have the ability of colonizing surfaces and developing biofilms that can determine diseases and infections. Most bacteria secrete a significant amount of extracellular polymer substances...

Navarrete B, Leal-Morales A, Serrano-Ron L, Sarrio M, Jimenez-Fernandez A, Jimenez-Diaz L, et al.
PLoS One . 2019 Mar; 14(3):e0214166. PMID: 30889223
The Pseudomonas putida flhA-flhF-fleN-fliA cluster encodes a component of the flagellar export gate and three regulatory elements potentially involved in flagellar biogenesis and other functions. Here we show that these...

Wirebrand L, Osterberg S, Lopez-Sanchez A, Govantes F, Shingler V
Sci Rep . 2018 Aug; 8(1):12205. PMID: 30111852
Bacteria swim and swarm using rotating flagella that are driven by a membrane-spanning motor complex. Performance of the flagella motility apparatus is modulated by the chemosensory signal transduction system to...
9.
Acemel R, Govantes F, Cuetos A
Sci Rep . 2018 Mar; 8(1):5340. PMID: 29593289
Most bacteria form organized sessile communities, known as biofilms. Their ubiquity and relevance have stimulated the development of efficient mathematical models able to predict biofilm evolution and characteristics at different...

Govantes F
Methods Mol Biol . 2017 Dec; 1734:159-169. PMID: 29288453
The ability to form stable surface-attached communities called biofilms is of paramount importance to both beneficial and harmful interactions between microbes and microbial, plant or animal partners. Assessment of biofilm...
