The Gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis encounters changing environmental
conditions in its habitat. The access to oxygen determines the mode of energy generation. A …

Bacillus subtilis grows anaerobically by at least two different pathways, respiration using
nitrate as an electron acceptor and fermentation in the absence of electron acceptors …

▪ Abstract There was a long-held belief that the gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis
is a strict aerobe. But recent studies have shown that B. subtilis will grow anaerobically …

Bacillus subtilis grows under anaerobic conditions utilizing nitrate ammonification and
various fermentative processes. The two-component regulatory system ResDE and the …

Bacillus subtilis grows in the absence of oxygen using nitrate ammonification and various
fermentation processes. Lactate, acetate, and 2, 3-butanediol were identified in the growth …

The Bacillus subtilis transcriptional regulator Fnr is an integral part of the regulatory cascade
required for the adaptation of the bacterium to low oxygen tension. The B. subtilis Fnr …

Bacteria are renowned for their metabolic efficiency and adaptability. They have evolved
complex, interlocking regulatory networks that respond to nearly every imaginable …

ABSTRACT The ResD-ResE signal transduction system is essential for aerobic and
anaerobic respiration in Bacillus subtilis. ResDE-dependent gene expression is induced by …

After a shift of Bacillus subtilis from aerobic to anaerobic growth conditions, nitrate
ammonification and various fermentative processes replace oxygen-dependent respiration …

Two Bacillus subtilis genes, designated resD and resE, encode proteins that are similar to
those of two-component signal transduction systems and play a regulatory role in …
