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

▪ Abstract The gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is capable of using numerous
carbohydrates as single sources of carbon and energy. In this review, we discuss the …

The second messenger cyclic di–adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) is essential in the
Gram-positive model organism Bacillus subtilis and in related pathogenic bacteria. It …

Background Standardized and well-characterized genetic building blocks are a prerequisite
for the convenient and reproducible assembly of novel genetic modules and devices. While …

The histidine-containing protein (HPr) is the energy coupling protein of the
phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent carbohydrate: phosphotransferase system (PTS), which …

The genome of the Gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis encodes three potential
diadenylate cyclases that may synthesize the signaling nucleotide cyclic di-AMP (c-di-AMP) …

More than 20 carbohydrates may be transported into the bacterial cell by the
phosphoenopyruvate: carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) that is widely spread …

The regulatory network of the cell envelope stress response in Bacillus subtilis involves both
extracytoplasmic function σ-factors and two-component signal transducing systems. One …

Previous studies have shown that the CcpA protein of Bacillus subtilis is a major
transcription factor mediating catabolite repression. We report here whole‐transcriptome …

Chemoheterotrophic bacteria use a few central metabolic pathways for carbon catabolism
and energy production as well as for the generation of the main precursors for anabolic …
