    Mark W Silby
    Department of Plant and Microbial Sciences, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand
    Appl Environ Microbiol 71:569-73. 2005
    ..Taken together, the results show that there are at least two paths to the GASP phenotype in P. aureofaciens, one of which results in a concomitant loss of the antifungal phenotype...

    Genome Biol 10:R51. 2009
    ..A functional genomic in vivo expression technology (IVET) screen provided insight into genes used by P. fluorescens in its natural environment and an improved understanding of the ecological significance of diversity within this species...
