Catabolic pathway acquisition by soil pseudomonads readily enables growth with salicyl alcohol but does not affect colonization of Populus roots

S. Christel, A. A. Carrell, L. H. Burdick, M. I. Villalobos Solis, P. E. Abraham, S. Jawdy, J. Chaves, N. Engle, T.-K. Berhane, T. Yao, J.-G. Chen, W. Muchero, T. Tschaplinski, M. A. Cregger, J. K. Michener

The paper transfers a catabolic pathway for salicyl alcohol in Pseudomonas soil isolates, showing it enables rapid catabolism but does not confer a fitness advantage in rhizosphere competition.
