Human thanatomicrobiota studies have shown that microorganisms inhabit and proliferate
externally and internally throughout the body and are the primary mediators of putrefaction …

Persistence, the stress-tolerant state, is arguably the most vital phenotype since nearly all
cells experience nutrient stress, which causes a sub-population to become dormant …

Glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MG), belonging to α-oxoaldehydes, are produced by
organisms from bacteria to humans by glucose oxidation, lipid peroxidation, and DNA …

It has been proposed that the chemical composition of a coral's mucus can influence the
associated bacterial community. However, information on this topic is rare, and non-existent …

After glucose, xylose is the most abundant sugar in lignocellulosic carbon sources.
However, wild-type Escherichia coli is unable to simultaneously utilize both sugars due to …

Experimental studies of microbial communities routinely reveal that they have multiple stable
states. While each of these states is generally resilient, certain perturbations such as …

In many bacteria glucose is the preferred carbon source and represses the utilization of
secondary substrates. In Bacillus subtilis, this carbon catabolite repression (CCR) is …

The Crc protein is a global regulator that has a key role in catabolite repression and
optimization of metabolism in Pseudomonads. Crc inhibits gene expression post …

Glycerol and glycerol-containing compounds such as lipids belong to the most abundant
organic compounds that may serve as nutrient for many bacteria. For the cell wall-less …

Escherichia coli can uptake and utilize many common natural sugars to form biomass or
valuable target bio-products. Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) will occur and hamper the …
