P seudomonas putida synthesizes polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as storage compounds.
PHA synthesis is more active when the carbon source is in excess and the nitrogen source …

Recent research indicates that the post-transcriptional regulator Crc modulates susceptibility
to antibiotics and virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Several P. aeruginosa virulence …

There is growing interest in engineering Pseudomonas putida KT2440 as a microbial
chassis for the conversion of renewable and waste-based feedstocks, and metabolic …

The degradation of many structurally diverse aromatic compounds in Acinetobacter baylyi is
accomplished by the β-ketoadipate pathway. In addition to specific induction of expression …

A diverse palette of novel small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) has been identified in bacteria in
recent years, and many play important roles in regulating gene expression and adaptation to …

In Pseudomonas putida, the Hfq and Crc proteins regulate the expression of many genes in
response to nutritional and environmental cues, by binding to mRNAs that bear specific …

Currently, design and optimisation of biotechnological bioprocesses is performed either
through exhaustive experimentation and/or with the use of empirical, unstructured growth …

Despite the relevance of infectious disease as main causes of human morbidity and
mortality, the development of new antibacterials is not among the highest priorities for …

Background Catabolite repression control (CRC) is an important global control system in
Pseudomonas that fine tunes metabolism in order optimise growth and metabolism in a …

Here, we describe for the first time the Crc (c atabolite r epression c ontrol) protein from the
soil bacterium Acinetobacter baylyi. Expression of A. baylyi crc varied according to the …
