Most bacteria can selectively use substrates from a mixture of different carbon sources. The
presence of preferred carbon sources prevents the expression, and often also the activity, of …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a metabolically versatile bacterium that is found in a wide
range of biotic and abiotic habitats. It is a major human opportunistic pathogen causing …

Pollution of soil and water environments by crude oil has been, and is still today, an
important problem. Crude oil is a complex mixture of thousands of compounds. Among them …

Metabolically versatile free-living bacteria have global regulation systems that allow cells to
selectively assimilate a preferred compound among a mixture of several potential carbon …

Acinetobacter occupies an important position in nature because of its ubiquitous presence in
diverse environments such as soils, fresh water, oceans, sediments, and contaminated sites …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) is the paradigm of cellular regulation. CCR happens
when bacteria are exposed to two or more carbon sources and one of them is preferentially …

Aromatic compounds belong to one of the most widely distributed classes of organic
compounds in nature, and a significant number of xenobiotics belong to this family of …

Lignin is an important structural component of terrestrial plants and is readily generated
during biomass fractionation in lignocellulose processing facilities. Due to lacking …

It is generally assumed that antibiotics and resistance determinants are the task forces of a
biological warfare in which each resistance determinant counteracts the activity of a specific …

Adipic acid is the most important commercial aliphatic dicarboxylic acid in the chemical
industry and is primarily used for the production of nylon-6, 6 polyamide. The current adipic …
