Bacteria have evolved many different signal transduction systems that sense signals and
generate a variety of responses. Generally, most abundant are transcriptional regulators …

This review covers the physiological aspects of regulation of the arabinose operon in
Escherichia coli and the physical and regulatory properties of the operon's controlling gene …

Whole cell biosensors (WCBs) have multiple applications for environmental monitoring,
detecting a wide range of pollutants. WCBs depend critically on the sensitivity and specificity …

Nitrilase enzymes (nitrilases) catalyse the hydrolysis of nitrile compounds to the
corresponding carboxylic acid and ammonia, and have a wide range of industrial and …

Transcriptional factors play an important role in gene regulation in all organisms, especially
in Bacteria. Here special emphasis is placed in the AraC/XylS family of transcriptional …

The wealth of bio-based building blocks produced by engineered microorganisms seldom
include halogen atoms. Muconate is a platform chemical with a number of industrial …

The sheer persistence and dissemination of xenobiotic aromatic hydrocarbons contaminants
demand sustainable solutions for degradation. Therefore, major pathways of microbial …

Bacteria express different types of hair-like proteinaceous appendages on their cell surface
known as pili or fimbriae. These filamentous structures are primarily involved in the …

The ExsA protein is a Pseudomonas aeruginosa transcriptional regulator of the AraC/XylS
family that is responsible for activating the type III secretion system operons upon host cell …

The mouse enteric pathogen Citrobacter rodentium, like its human counterpart,
enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, causes attaching and effacing lesions in the intestinal …
