Bacterial transcription factors (TFs) are key devices for the engineering of complex circuits in
many biotechnological applications, yet there are few well-characterized inducer-responsive …

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 …

Industrial expansion has led to environmental pollution by xenobiotic compounds like
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and monoaromatic hydrocarbons. Pseudomonas spp …

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

We isolated a flurbiprofen-degrading strain LY. 1 from the water samples of the Xunsi River
in Wuhan City, China. The 16S rDNA sequence alignment showed that the LY. 1 strain was …

P-nitrophenol (PNP) is a carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic compound that can
cause serious harm to the environment. A strain of Pseudomonas putida DLL-E4, can …

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 …

Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) catalyses the irreversible decarboxylation of pyruvate to
acetyl‐CoA, which feeds the tricarboxylic acid cycle. We investigated how the loss of PDH …

In this report, we experimentally demonstrate that improving the cis-regulatory region of a
target promoter can significantly enhance the response to an otherwise poor inducer. The …
