Alternative bacterial sigma factors bind the catalytic core RNA polymerase to confer
promoter selectivity on the holoenzyme. The different holoenzymes are thus programmed to …

Optical biosensor technology continues to be the method of choice for label‐free, real‐time
interaction analysis. But when it comes to improving the quality of the biosensor literature …

The Crc protein is a global regulator that has a key role in catabolite repression and
optimization of metabolism in Pseudomonads. Crc inhibits gene expression post …

Biofilm dispersal is a genetically programmed response enabling bacterial cells to exit the
biofilm in response to particular physiological or environmental conditions. In Pseudomonas …

Alternative σ-factors of bacteria bind core RNA polymerase to program the specific promoter
selectivity of the holoenzyme. Signal-responsive changes in the availability of different σ …

Abstract Background Sigma54, or RpoN, is an alternative σ factor found widely in
eubacteria. A significant complication in analysis of the global σ 54 regulon in a bacterium is …

The CbrAB two‐component system has been described as a high‐ranked element in the
regulatory hierarchy of P seudomonas putida that controls a variety of metabolic and …

Expression of pathways for dissimilation of toxic aromatic compounds such as (methyl)
phenols interfaces both stress‐response and carbon catabolite repression control cascades …

Introduction and Rationale The detection of bioavailable phenol is a very important issue in
environmental and human hazard assessment. Despite modest developments recently …

The σ 54-factor controls expression of a variety of genes in response to environmental cues.
Much previous work has implicated the nucleotide alarmone ppGpp and its co-factor DksA in …
