Escherichia coli can use the nonreducing disaccharide trehalose as a sole source of carbon
and energy. Trehalose transport into the cell is mediated via the phosphotransferase system …

The treA gene of Escherichia coli K12 codes for a periplasmic trehalase that is induced by
growth at high osmolarity. The position of treA within a cloned chromosomal DNA fragment …

The disaccharide trehalose acts as an osmoprotectant as well as a carbon source in
Escherichia coli. At high osmolarity of the growth medium, the cells synthesize large …

Escherichia coli can synthesize trehalose in response to osmotic stress and is able to utilize
trehalose as a carbon source. The pathway of trehalose utilization is different at low and …

The Escherichia coli treA gene encodes an osmotically inducible periplasmic trehalase. A
strain carrying a treA–lacZ transcriptional fusion was constructed. The β‐galactosidase …

Trehalose metabolism in Escherichia coli is complicated by the fact that cells grown at high
osmolarity synthesize internal trehalose as an osmoprotectant, independent of the carbon …

It has been reported previously that Escherichia coli K-12 carries an amber mutation that
prevents osmotic stress-dependent accumulation of trehalose (ML Rod, KY Alam, PR …

A gene bank of partially Sau3A-digested Escherichia coli DNA ligated in plasmid pBR322
was screened for the ability to complement a mutant unable to metabolize trehalose at low …

The metabolism of trehalose in wild type cells of Escherichia coli and Salmonella
typhimurium has been investigated. Intact cells of Escherichia coli (grown on trehalose) …

The pathway of trehalose utilization inEscherichia coli is different at low and high osmolarity.
The low osmolarity system takes up trehalose as trehalose 6-phosphate which is hydrolyzed …
