Plant growth promotion induced by phosphate solubilizing endophytic Pseudomonas isolates.

Oteino, Nicholas; Lally, Richard D.; Kiwanuka, Samuel; Lloyd, Andrew; Ryan, David; Germaine, Kieran J.; Dowling, David N. (Frontiers Media, 2015)

The use of plant growth promoting bacterial inoculants as live microbial biofertilizers provides a promising alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Inorganic phosphate solubilization is one of the major ...

Whole-cell fluorescent biosensors for bioavailability and biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyls.

Liu, Xuemei; Germaine, Kieran J.; Ryan, David; Dowling, David N. (MDPI, 2010)

Whole-cell microbial biosensors are one of the newest molecular tools used in environmental monitoring. Such biosensors are constructed through fusing a reporter gene such as lux, gfp or lacZ,to a responsive promoter. There ...

Application of endophytic Pseudomonas fluorescens and a bacterial consortium to Brassica napus can increase plant height and biomass under greenhouse and field conditions

Lally, Richard D.; Galbally, Paul; Moreira, António S.; Spink, John; Ryan, David; Germaine, Kieran J.; Dowling, David N. (Frontiers Media, 2017)

Plant associated bacteria with plant growth promotion (PGP) properties have been proposed for use as environmentally friendly biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture; however, analysis of their efficacy in the field is ...

Alginate beads as a storage, delivery and containment system for genetically modified PCB degrader and PCB biosensor derivatives of Pseudomonas fluorescens F113.

Power, B; Liu, Xuemei; Germaine, Kieran J.; Ryan, David; Brazil, Dina; Dowling, David N. (The Society for Applied Microbiology, 2011)

Aims: Pseudomonas fluorescens F113Rifpcb is a genetically engineered rhizosphere bacterium with the potential to degrade polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). F113Rifpcbgfp and F113L::1180gfp are biosensor strains capable of ...

Ecopiling: a combined phytoremediation and passive biopiling system for remediating hydrocarbon impacted soils at field scale

Germaine, Kieran J.; Byrne, John; Liu, Xuemei; Keohane, Jer; Culhane, John; Lally, Richard D.; Kiwanuka, Samuel; Ryan, David; Dowling, David N. (Frontiers Media, 2015)

Biopiling is an ex situ bioremediation technology that has been extensively used for remediating a wide range of petrochemical contaminants in soils. Biopiling involves the assembling of contaminated soils into piles and ...

Genome sequence of the biocontrol strain Pseudomonas fluorescens F113.

Redondo-Nieto, Miguel; Barret, Matthieu; Morrissey, John P.; Germaine, Kieran J.; Martinez-Granero, Francisco; Barahona, Emma; Navazo, Ana; Sánchez-Contrerasa, María; Moynihan, Jennifer A.; Giddens, Stephen R.; Coppoolse, Eric R.; Candela, Muriel; Stiekema, Willem J.; Rainey, Paul B.; Dowling, David N.; O'Gara, Fergal; Martína, Marta; Rivilla, Rafael (American Society for Microbiology, 2012)

Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) that has biocontrol activity against fungal plant pathogens and is a model for rhizosphere colonization. Here, we present its complete genome ...

Crop establishment practices are a driver of the plant microbiota in winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus)

Rathore, Ridhdhi; Dowling, David N.; Forristal, Patick D.; Spink, John; Cotter, Paul D.; Bulgarelli, Davide; Germaine, Kieran J. (Frontiers Media, 2017)

Gaining a greater understanding of the plant microbiota and its interactions with its host plant heralds a new era of scientific discovery in agriculture. Different agricultural management practices influence soil microbial ...

Genome sequence reveals that Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 possesses a large and diverse array of systems for rhizosphere function and host interaction

Redondo-Nieto, Miguel; Barret, Matthieu; Morrissey, John; Germaine, Kieran J.; Martinez-Granero, Francisco; Barahona, Emma; Navazo, Ana; Sánchez-Contrerasa, María; Moynihan, Jennifer A.; Candela, Muriel; Dowling, David N.; O'Gara, Fergal; Martín, Marta; Rivilla, Rafael (BioMed Central, 2013)

Background: Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) isolated from the sugar-beet rhizosphere. This bacterium has been extensively studied as a model strain for genetic regulation ...
