Promoters are sequences that precede transcriptional start sites and determine recognition
by RNA polymerases to initiate transcription. Most bacterial genes are regulated at the level …

Ethylene and ethylene oxide are widely used in the chemical industry, and ethylene is also
important for its role in fruit ripening. Better sensing systems would assist risk management …

The abilities of diesel-degrading Bacillus pumilus JLB and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus LT1
were tested in contaminated soils. The effect of nutrient supplementation on bioaugmented …

When confronted with a mixture of potential carbon sources at sufficiently high
concentrations, many bacterial species often assimilate the different compounds in an …

Background Initial step of β-oxidation is catalyzed by acyl-CoA dehydrogenase in
prokaryotes and mitochondria, while acyl-CoA oxidase primarily functions in the …

To facilitate the biodegradation of diesel oil, an oil biodegradation bacterial consortium was
constructed. The alkane hydroxylase (alkB) gene of Pseudomonas putida GPo1 was …

Pivotal challenges in industrial biotechnology are the identification and overcoming of cell-to-
cell heterogeneity in microbial processes. While the development of subpopulations of …

The draft genome of Dietzia cinnamea strain P4 was determined using pyrosequencing. In
total, 428 supercontigs were obtained and analyzed. We here describe and interpret the …

The tetralin biodegradation genes of Sphingomonas macrogolitabida strain TFA are
clustered in two closely linked and divergent operons. To analyze expression of both …

Although inducible heterologous expression systems have been available since the birth of
recombinant DNA technology, the diversity of genetic devices and their coming together in …
