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 …

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

To succeed, many cells must alternate between life-styles that permit rapid growth in the
presence of abundant nutrients and ones that enhance survival in the absence of those …

The complete genome sequence of Treponema pallidum was determined and shown to be
1,138,006 base pairs containing 1041 predicted coding sequences (open reading frames) …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) is a regulatory mechanism by which the expression of
genes required for the utilization of secondary sources of carbon is prevented by the …

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

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

Bacteria utilise carbon sources in a strictly controlled hierarchical manner for which they
have developed global control mechanisms that govern and coordinate carbon source …

Overproduction of microbial metabolites is related to developmental phases of
microorganisms. Inducers, effectors, inhibitors and various signal molecules play a role in …
