The phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) is found
only in bacteria, where it catalyzes the transport and phosphorylation of numerous …

The initiation of transcription is a complex process involving many different steps. These
steps are all potential control points for regulating gene expression, and many have been …

We report analyses of 202 fully sequenced genomes for homologues of known protein
constituents of the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system …

The growth and persistence of rhizobia and bradyrhizobia in soils are negatively impacted
by drought conditions. In this study, we used genome-wide transcriptional analyses to obtain …

Unraveling the complex transcriptional regulation of bacterial catabolism of aromatic

We here tabulate and describe all currently recognized proteins of the
phosphoenolpyruvate: sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) and their homologues …

In addition to the sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS) dedicated to carbohydrate
uptake, many Gram-negative bacteria possess a so-called nitrogen PTS (PTS Ntr). Although …

Throughout the 3000 million years that bacteria have been on planet Earth, they have
evolved amazing mechanisms for rapid adaptation to every imaginable type of …

Deciphering the complex interconnecting bacterial responses to the presence of aromatic
compounds is required to gain an integrated understanding of how aromatic catabolic …

Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is highly successful in colonizing a variety habitats, including
aquatic and edaphic niches. In accordance with this ability and with the need to adapt to …
