A number of microorganisms have the ability to thrive in the presence of a range of toxic
solvents. Tolerance to these chemicals is a multifactorial process, meaning that bacterial …

Bacteria have been found in all niches explored on Earth, their ubiquity derives from their
enormous metabolic diversity and their capacity to adapt to changes in the environment …

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 …

In this study, we show that glucose catabolism in Pseudomonas putida occurs through the
simultaneous operation of three pathways that converge at the level of 6-phosphogluconate …

The Bacillus subtilis extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σM factor is activated by cell envelope
stress elicited by antibiotics, and by acid, heat, ethanol and superoxide stresses. Here, we …

Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is a chloramphenicol-resistant bacterium that is able to grow
in the presence of this antibiotic at a concentration of up to 25 μg/ml. Transcriptomic …

Clostridium thermocellum is a good candidate organism for producing cellulosic biofuels
due to its native ability to ferment cellulose, however its maximum biofuel titer is limited by …

In G ram‐negative bacteria, multidrug efflux pumps are responsible for the extrusion of
chemicals that are deleterious for growth. Some of these efflux pumps are induced by …

Pseudomonas putida KT2440 channels glucose to the central Entner-Doudoroff
intermediate 6-phosphogluconate through three convergent pathways. The genes for these …

Pseudomonas bacteria are widespread and are found in soil and water, as well as
pathogens of both plants and animals. The ability of Pseudomonas to colonize many …
