An endophytic bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) strain translocated and protected tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants from its parasitic weed Phelipanche aegyptiaca

The paper investigates an endophytic Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain that moves between tomato plants and its parasitic weed Phelipanche aegyptiaca, enhancing biofilm formation and being detected in both xylem and weed tissues.

Structural Insights into Curli CsgA Cross-β Fibril Architecture Inspired Repurposing of Anti-amyloid Compounds as Anti-biofilm Agents

This paper reveals structural similarities between bacterial curli amyloids and human pathological amyloids, leading to the repurposing of anti-amyloid drugs as anti-biofilm agents.
