Small RNAs are ubiquitously present regulators in all kingdoms of life. Most bacterial and
archaeal small RNAs (sRNAs) act by antisense mechanisms on multiple target mRNAs …

Most bacterial pathogens have the remarkable ability to flourish in the external environment
and in specialized host niches. This ability requires their metabolism, physiology, and …

Widespread pollution of terrestrial ecosystems with petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) has
generated a need for remediation and, given that many PHCs are biodegradable, bio-and …

Many bacterial regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs) have several mRNA targets, which places
them at the centre of regulatory networks that help bacteria to adapt to environmental …

Post-transcriptional regulation is a very important mechanism to control gene expression in
changing environments. In the past decade, a lot of interest has been directed toward the …

Carbon catabolite repression refers to the preference of microbes to metabolize certain
growth substrates over others in response to a variety of regulatory mechanisms. Such …

Polyester polyurethane (PU) coatings are widely used to help protect underlying structural
surfaces but are susceptible to biological degradation. PUs are susceptible to degradation …

Lignin is one largely untapped natural resource that can be exploited as a raw material for
the bioproduction of value-added chemicals. Meanwhile, the current petroleum-based …

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa the RNA chaperone Hfq and the c atabolite r epression c ontrol
protein (Crc) act as post-transcriptional regulators during carbon catabolite repression …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous nosocomial opportunistic pathogen that harbors
many virulence determinants. Part of P. aeruginosa success colonizing a variety of habitats …
