The machinery for cells to take decisions, when environmental conditions change, includes
protein–DNA interactions defined by transcriptional factors and their targets around …

Hydrogenases (H 2 ases) are metalloproteins. The great majority of them contain iron-sulfur
clusters and two metal atoms at their active center, either a Ni and an Fe atom, the [NiFe]-H 2 …

There continues to be widespread interest in the applications of hydrogen as a clean fuel
and its potential for local electricity production and use in transport. Recent years have seen …

Despite almost 40 years of molecular genetics research in Escherichia coli a major fraction
of its Transcription Start Sites (TSSs) are still unknown, limiting therefore our understanding …

IscR is an iron‐sulphur (Fe‐S) cluster‐containing transcription factor that represses
transcription of the operon containing its own gene and the iscSUA‐hscBA‐fdx genes …

Pathogenic microorganisms use various mechanisms to conserve energy in host tissues
and environmental reservoirs. One widespread but often overlooked means of energy …

Hydrogen (H 2) is an effective, environmentally friendly and renewable source of fuel that
can be produced during dark-and photo-fermentation by different facultative and obligate …

The major regulator controlling the physiological switch between aerobic and anaerobic
growth conditions in Escherichia coli is the DNA binding protein FNR. To identify genes …

The enterobacterium Escherichia coli synthesizes two H 2 uptake enzymes, Hyd-1 and Hyd-
2. We show using precise electrochemical kinetic measurements that the properties of Hyd-1 …

The production of dihydrogen by Escherichia coli and other members of the
Enterobacteriaceae is one of the classic features of mixed-acid fermentation. Synthesis of …
