Singlet oxygen is one of several reactive oxygen species that can destroy biomolecules,
microorganisms and other cells. Traditionally, the response to singlet oxygen has been …

Extracytoplasmic function σ factors (ECFs) represent a fundamental and widely distributed
principle of bacterial signal transduction that connects the perception of a stimulus (input) …

The ability of a bacterial cell to monitor and adaptively respond to its environment is crucial
for survival. After one‐and two‐component systems, extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ …

FNR is a well-studied global regulator of anaerobiosis, which is widely conserved across
bacteria. Despite the importance of FNR and anaerobiosis in microbial lifestyles, the factors …

Despite the importance of maintaining redox homeostasis for cellular viability, how cells
control redox balance globally is poorly understood. Here we provide new mechanistic …

Transcription is the fundamental process that enables the expression of genetic information.
DNA‐directed RNA polymerase (RNAP) uses one strand of the DNA duplex as template to …

Singlet oxygen is the primary agent of photooxidative stress in microorganisms. In
photosynthetic microorganisms, sensitized generation by pigments of the photosystems is …

In most bacteria, zinc depletion is sensed by Zur, whereas the surplus is sensed by different
regulators to achieve zinc homeostasis. Here we present evidence that zinc-bound Zur not …

We used deep sequencing technology to identify transcriptional adaptation of the euryhaline
unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 and the marine facultative aerobe …

Exposure to oxygen and light generates photooxidative stress by the bacteriochlorophyll a
mediated formation of singlet oxygen (1O2) in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Our study reports …
