Hitching a ride in the phyllosphere: Surfactant production of Pseudomonas spp. causes co-swarming of Pantoea eucalypti 299R

This study shows that surfactant-producing Pseudomonads enhance co-swarming and biomass of Pantoea eucalypti 299R on agar but not in planta, suggesting surfactant-dependent co-motility benefits leaf colonization.

Mucins shed from the laminated layer in cystic echinococcosis are captured by Kupffer cells via the lectin receptor Clec4F

The paper shows that mucins from the laminated layer of E. granulosus are captured by Kupffer cells via Clec4F, highlighting a mechanism for host clearance of parasite-derived materials.

Rational design yields molecular insights on leaf binding of the anchor peptide Macaque Histatin

The paper designs a model of apple leaf surfaces and demonstrates that specific amino acids in Macaque Histatin are essential for binding to waxy surfaces.

Characterisation of the biosurfactants from phyllosphere colonising Pseudomonads and their effect on plant colonisation and diesel degradation

This study investigates the role of biosurfactants in Pseudomonas strains during leaf colonisation and diesel degradation, finding that surfactant production enhances aliphatic compound degradation but not plant colonisation.
