The phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) is found
only in bacteria, where it catalyzes the transport and phosphorylation of numerous …

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 …

Transcriptional activation of many bacterial promoters in their natural environment is not a
simple on/off decision. The expression of cognate genes is integrated in layers of iterative …

In addition to the sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS) dedicated to carbohydrate
uptake, many Gram-negative bacteria possess a so-called nitrogen PTS (PTS Ntr). Although …

Bacterial transcriptional networks are built on a hierarchy of regulators, on top of which lie
the components of the RNA polymerase (in particular the sigma factors) and the global …

In this study we investigate the effect of thioredoxin (Trx1) protein fusions in the production,
oxidation, and folding of single chain Fv (scFv) antibodies in the cytoplasm of Escherichia …

Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 is an effective biocontrol agent of root diseases caused by
fungal pathogens. The strain produces the antibiotics 2, 4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) …

The structure of the extant transcriptional control network of the TOL plasmid pWW0 born by
Pseudomonas putida mt‐2 for biodegradation of m‐xylene is far more complex than one …

Prokaryotic transcription factors (TFs) that bind small xenobiotic molecules (eg, TFs that
drive genes that respond to environmental pollutants) often display a promiscuous effector …

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 …
