Living organisms sense and respond to light, a crucial environmental factor, using
photoreceptors, which rely on bound chromophores such as retinal, flavins, or linear …

DNA mimic proteins have DNA-like negative surface charge distributions, and they function
by occupying the DNA binding sites of DNA binding proteins to prevent these sites from …

Carotenoids are produced by a variety of organisms, but the mechanisms that regulate gene
expression leading to carotenoid biosynthesis have been characterized for only a few …

The present study was conducted to examine the influence of a pathogen Sclerotinia
sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary on the actinobacterial community associated with the soybean …

Coinciding with the increase in sequenced bacteria, mining of bacterial genomes for
biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) has become a critical component of natural product …

Illumination of dark‐grown Myxococcus xanthus with blue light leads to the induction of
carotenoid synthesis. Central to this response is the activation of the light‐inducible …

A light‐inducible promoter, PB, drives expression of the carB operon in Myxococcus
xanthus. Repressed by CarA in the dark, PB is activated when CarS, produced in the light …

The MerR family of transcriptional regulators includes a variety of bacterial cytoplasmic
proteins that respond to a wide range of signals, including toxins, metal ions, and …

ABSTRACT nalC multidrug-resistant mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa show enhanced
expression of the mexAB-oprM multidrug efflux system as a direct result of the production of …

Myxobacteria are Gram-negative δ-proteobacteria found predominantly in terrestrial habitats
and often brightly colored due to the biosynthesis of carotenoids. Carotenoids are lipophilic …
