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 …

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

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 …

In the metabolically versatile bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the RNA-binding protein
Crc is involved in catabolite repression of a range of degradative genes, such as amiE …

Phenotypic and genetic evidence supporting the notion of biofilm formation as a
developmental process is growing. In the present work, we provide additional support for …

Small RNAs (sRNAs) exert important functions in pseudomonads. Classical sRNAs
comprise the 4.5 S, 6S, 10Sa and 10Sb RNAs, which are known in enteric bacteria as part of …

The Crc protein is a global regulator that has a key role in catabolite repression and
optimization of metabolism in Pseudomonads. Crc inhibits gene expression post …

The Crc protein is a translational repressor that recognizes a specific target at some mRNAs,
controlling catabolite repression and co‐ordinating carbon metabolism in pseudomonads. In …

The Crc protein is a global translational regulator involved in catabolite repression of
catabolic pathways for several non‐preferred carbon sources in Pseudomonads when other …

Bacterial transcriptional networks are built on a hierarchy of regulators, on top of which lie
the components of the RNA polymerase (in particular the sigma factors) and the global …
