A beneficial synonymous substitution in EF-Tu is contingent on genetic background

K. M. McGrath, S. Russell, E. Fer, E. Garmendia, A. Hosgel, D. Baltrus, B. Kacar

The paper identifies a beneficial synonymous mutation in EF-Tu that increases mRNA and protein levels but shows fitness benefits dependent on genetic background.

Experimental Evolution of the Megaplasmid pMPPla107 in Pseudomonas stutzeri Enables Identification of Genes Contributing to Sensitivity to an Inhibitory Agent

B. A. Smith, K. Dougherty, M. Clark, D. Baltrus

The paper uses experimental evolution to identify compensatory mutations in a plasmid that reduce sensitivity to an inhibitory agent in Pseudomonas stutzeri.

A Moving Target: The Megaplasmid pMPPla107 Sensitizes Cells to an Inhibitory Agent Conserved Across Pseudomonas spp.

B. Smith, Y. Feinstein, M. Clark, D. Baltrus

The paper shows that acquiring the megaplasmid pMPPla107 makes P. syringae strains more sensitive to an inhibitory agent produced by other Pseudomonas species.
