Bacterial motility: machinery and mechanisms

Navish Wadhwa et al.

Summary: Bacteria have developed different mechanisms for motility to utilize resources and environments. They can swim in aqueous media through rotation of helical filaments, or move over solid surfaces using various mechanisms such as twitching, gliding, and sliding. Recent technological advances have improved our understanding of the molecular machinery behind bacterial motility.

The ecological roles of bacterial chemotaxis

Johannes M. Keegstra et al.

Summary: The mechanism of bacterial chemotaxis is well understood, but the reasons and consequences behind it are still puzzling. Besides foraging, bacterial chemotaxis also plays alternative ecological roles such as navigation, localization, and promoting microbial diversity. Most insights on chemotaxis are obtained from laboratory studies, and observing individual and collective migratory behavior of bacteria in different environments can provide a better understanding of the trade-offs between chemotaxis and growth. Further research using in situ approaches and transgenerational tracking is needed to explore the role of chemotaxis in microbial life.

The catabolic pathways of in situ rhizosphere PAH degraders and the main factors driving PAH rhizoremediation in oil-contaminated soil

Jibing Li et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that different prairie grasses significantly increased phenanthrene removal and altered the diversity of phenanthrene degraders, explaining their unique rhizoremediation mechanisms. Additionally, propanoate and inositol phosphate were identified as the dominant factors that drove PAH rhizoremediation by strengthening ecological networks of soil microbial communities.

Genetic mapping of highly versatile and solvent-tolerant Pseudomonas putida B6-2 (ATCC BAA-2545) as a 'superstar' for mineralization of PAHs and dioxin-like compounds

Weiwei Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that Pseudomonas putida B6-2 grown in the presence of biphenyl shows highly versatile activities, being able to simultaneously degrade PAHs and their derivatives, tolerate high concentrations of toxic solvents, and contain gene clusters responsible for aromatic compound degradation and solvent tolerance in its genome.
