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 …

Many microorganisms produce and excrete acetoin (3‐hydroxy‐2‐butanone) when growing
in environments that contain glucose or other fermentable carbon sources. This excreted …

Glucose and other C sources exert an atypical form of catabolic repression on the σ54-
dependent promoter Pu, which drives transcription of an operon for m-xylene degradation …

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

ABSTRACT The Pseudomonas putida KT2440 TOL upper pathway is repressed under
nonlimiting conditions in cells growing in chemostat with succinate as a carbon source. We …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa JB2 can use 2-chlorobenzoate (2-CBa), 3-CBa, 2, 3-
dichlorobenzoate (2, 3-DCBa), and 2, 5-DCBa as sole carbon and energy sources, whereas …

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 plant growth-promoting Acinetobacter sp. SK2 isolated from Vigna radiata rhizosphere
was characterized for mineral phosphate solubilization (MPS). To understand the …

Summary The Crc protein of Pseudomonas inhibits the expression of genes involved in the
transport and assimilation of a number of non‐preferred carbon sources when preferred …

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 …
