PROPOSITIONS

associated with the PhD thesis

Bacillus mycoides: novel tools

for studying the mechanisms of its interaction with plants

by Yanglei Yi

1. Sharpening your axe will not delay your job of cutting

wood. (磨刀不误砍柴功)

2. Plants and the associated bacteria are smart enough to

find a way to cooperate. (Chapter 1)

3. There is a putative endophytic clade within the Bacillus

mycoides species. (Chapter 2)

4. Comparative transcriptomics of Bacillus mycoides revealed

that the endophytic strain is more metabolically active

than soil strain in response to root exudate. (Chapter 3)

5. Fluorescent proteins light up the dark matter of the

bio-logical world: the rhizosphere. (Chapter 5)

6. The CRISPR-Cas9 system is revolutionizing genomic

en-gineering and equipping scientists with the ability to

pre-cisely modify the DNA of essentially any organism.

(Web-page of Science)

7. Microorganisms will give you anything you want if you

know how to ask them. (Kinichiro Sakaguchi)

8. Support bacteria — they are the only culture some people

have. (Steven Wright)
