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

The alternative sigma factor RpoN is a key regulator in the acclimation of Pseudomonas to
complex natural environments. In this study we show that RpoN is required for efficient …

An investigation was made into the role of the ptsO gene in carbon source inhibition of the
Pu promoter belonging to the Pseudomonas putida upper TOL (toluene degradation) …

Conjugation of catabolic plasmids in contaminated environments is a naturally occurring
horizontal gene transfer phenomenon, which could be utilized in genetic bioaugmentation …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of plasmids is a naturally occurring phenomenon which
could be manipulated for bioremediation applications. Specifically, HGT may prove useful to …

The potential of trichloroethylene (TCE) to induce andnon-aromatic growth substrates to
support TCE degradationin five strains (Pseudomonas mendocina KR1, Ralstonia pickettii …

The bacterial stringent response is induced by nutrient deprivation and is mediated by
enzymes of the RSH (RelA/SpoT homologue; RelA,(p) ppGpp synthetase I; SpoT,(p) ppGpp …

Expression of the phenol degradation pathway in Pseudomonas putida strain PaW85
requires coordinated transcription of the plasmid-borne pheBA operon encoding catechol 1 …

Although in the past century large amounts of aromatic hydrocarbons have been released
as a consequence of industrial activity, most of these compounds in the environment are the …

Although in bacterial cells all genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase, there are 2
additional enzymes capable of catalyzing RNA synthesis: poly (A) polymerase I, which adds …
