Soil microorganisms are diverse, although they share functions during the decomposition of
organic matter. Thus, preferences for soil conditions and litter quality were explored to …

Abstract Because some Actinobacteria, especially Streptomyces species, are β-lactam-
producing bacteria, they have to have some self-resistant mechanism. The β-lactam …

In Corynebacterium glutamicum the protein kinase PknG phosphorylates OdhI and thereby
abolishes the inhibition of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase activity by unphosphorylated OdhI …

Corynebacterium glutamicum is the major host for the industrial production of amino acids
and has become one of the best studied model organisms in microbial biotechnology …

The mycobacterial fatty acid synthase (FAS) complex is a giant 2.0-MDa α6 homohexameric
multifunctional enzyme that catalyzes synthesis of fatty acid precursors of mycolic acids …

The T box riboswitch regulates many amino acid-related genes in Gram-positive bacteria. T
box riboswitch-mediated gene regulation was shown previously to occur at the level of …

In contrast to other prokaryotes, the Mycobacterial F 1 FO ATP synthase (α 3: β 3: γ: δ: ε: a: b:
b': c 9) is essential for growth. The mycobacterial enzyme is also unique as a result of its 111 …

Conjugation is one of the main mechanisms involved in the spread and maintenance of
antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations. We recently showed that the emerging …

Comparison of genome sequences from clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with
phylogenetically-related pathogens Mycobacterium marinum, Mycobacterium kansasii, and …

Abstract l-Histidine biosynthesis in Corynebacterium glutamicum is mainly regulated by l-
histidine feedback inhibition of the ATP-phosphoribosyltransferase HisG that catalyzes the …
