Redondo-Nieto M, Barret M, Morrisey J, Germaine K, Martinez-Granero F, Barahona E, et al.
J Bacteriol . 2012 Feb; 194(5):1273-4. PMID: 22328765
Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) that has biocontrol activity against fungal plant pathogens and is a model for rhizosphere colonization. Here, we present its complete genome...

Trends Biotechnol . 2009 Dec; 28(2):63-72. PMID: 19963293
Laccases are blue multicopper oxidases that catalyse the four-electron reduction of O(2) to water coupled with the oxidation of small organic substrates. Secreted basidiomycete white-rot fungal laccases orchestrate this with...

Silby M, Cerdeno-Tarraga A, Vernikos G, Giddens S, Jackson R, Preston G, et al.
Genome Biol . 2009 May; 10(5):R51. PMID: 19432983
Background: Pseudomonas fluorescens are common soil bacteria that can improve plant health through nutrient cycling, pathogen antagonism and induction of plant defenses. The genome sequences of strains SBW25 and Pf0-1...

Giddens S, Jackson R, Moon C, Jacobs M, Zhang X, Gehrig S, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2007 Nov; 104(46):18247-52. PMID: 17989226
The genome of the plant-colonizing bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 harbors a subset of genes that are expressed specifically on plant surfaces. The function of these genes is central to the...

Giddens S, Bean D
Int J Antimicrob Agents . 2006 Dec; 29(1):93-7. PMID: 17189100
D-Alanylgriseoluteic acid (AGA) is a potent antimicrobial phenazine compound produced by Pantoea agglomerans (Erwinia herbicola) Eh1087. Susceptibility tests against a range of microbes indicated that AGA had a broad spectrum...

Galbraith M, Giddens S, Mahanty H, Clark B
Can J Microbiol . 2005 Jan; 50(10):877-81. PMID: 15644904
Pantoea agglomerans strain Eh1087 produces the phenazine antibiotic D-alanylgriseoluteic acid. A glutamine auxotroph harboring an insertion in a putative glnA gene was obtained by transposon-mutagenesis of Eh1087 that produced less...

Appl Environ Microbiol . 2005 Jan; 71(1):569-73. PMID: 15640239
The growth advantage in stationary phase (GASP) phenotype was shown to be present in two mutants lacking the antifungal phenotype (Af(-) mutants) of Pseudomonas aureofaciens PA147-2. Complementation demonstrated a correlation...

Environ Microbiol . 2003 Sep; 5(10):1016-21. PMID: 14510856
Stigma colonization by Erwinia amylovora is the crucial first step in the development of most fire blight infections in apple and pear trees. Suppression at this point of the disease...

Mol Microbiol . 2002 Jul; 45(3):769-83. PMID: 12139622
Erwinia herbicola strain Eh1087 produces the broad-spectrum phenazine antibiotic D-alanylgriseoluteic acid (AGA). In this report, a cluster of 16 ehp (Erwinia herbicola phenazine) plasmid genes required for the production of...
