Most bacteria can selectively use substrates from a mixture of different carbon sources. The
presence of preferred carbon sources prevents the expression, and often also the activity, of …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a metabolically versatile bacterium that is found in a wide
range of biotic and abiotic habitats. It is a major human opportunistic pathogen causing …

Pollution of soil and water environments by crude oil has been, and is still today, an
important problem. Crude oil is a complex mixture of thousands of compounds. Among them …

Widespread pollution of terrestrial ecosystems with petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) has
generated a need for remediation and, given that many PHCs are biodegradable, bio-and …

Metabolically versatile free-living bacteria have global regulation systems that allow cells to
selectively assimilate a preferred compound among a mixture of several potential carbon …

Acinetobacter occupies an important position in nature because of its ubiquitous presence in
diverse environments such as soils, fresh water, oceans, sediments, and contaminated sites …

Practical Handbook of Microbiology, 4th edition provides basic, clear and concise

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) is the paradigm of cellular regulation. CCR happens
when bacteria are exposed to two or more carbon sources and one of them is preferentially …

It is generally assumed that antibiotics and resistance determinants are the task forces of a
biological warfare in which each resistance determinant counteracts the activity of a specific …

Originally described as a repressor of gene expression in the stationary phase of growth,
