Rapid Germination of a Barley Mutant Is Correlated with a Rapid Turnover of Abscisic Acid Outside the Embryo.

Visser, K., Vissers, APA., Cagirgan, M. I., Kijne, J. W., Wang, M.

In our study of the role of abscisic acid (ABA) in controlling the germination of barley grains, we tested a barley mutant line with a gigantum appearance (Hordeum distichum cv Quantum) for an...

Bacteriocin small of Rhizobium leguminosarum belongs to the class of N-acyl-L-homoserine lactone molecules, known as autoinducers and as quorum sensing co-transcription factors.

Schripsema, J, De Rudder, K E, Van Vliet, T B, Lankhorst, P P, De Vroom, E, Kijne, J W, ...

Small bacteriocin was isolated from the culture broth of the gram-negative bacterium Rhizobium leguminosarum, which forms symbiotic nitrogen-fixing root nodules on a number of leguminous plants. The...

Flocculence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells is induced by nutrient limitation, with cell surface hydrophobicity as a major determinant.

Smit, G, Straver, M H, Lugtenberg, B J, Kijne, J W

Initiation of flocculation ability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MPY1 cells was observed at the moment the cells stop dividing because of nitrogen limitation. A shift in concentration of the limiting...

Purification and partial characterization of a flocculin from brewer's yeast.

Straver, M H, Smit, G, Kijne, J W

Analysis of a shear supernatant from flocculent, "fimbriated" Saccharomyces cerevisiae brewer's yeast cells revealed the presence of a protein involved in flocculation of the yeast cells and...

Rhicadhesin-mediated attachment and virulence of an Agrobacterium tumefaciens chvB mutant can be restored by growth in a highly osmotic medium.

Swart, S, Lugtenberg, B J, Smit, G, Kijne, J W

Cyclic beta-1,2-glucan is considered to play a role in osmoadaptation of members of the family Rhizobiaceae in hypotonic media. Agrobacterium tumefaciens chvB mutants, lacking beta-1,2-glucan,...

Roles of flagella, lipopolysaccharide, and a Ca2+-dependent cell surface protein in attachment of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae to pea root hair tips.

Smit, G, Kijne, J W, Lugtenberg, B J

The relationship between Ca2+-dependent cell surface components of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae, motility, and ability to attach to pea root hair tips was investigated. In contrast to...
