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 …

The helix-turn-helix (HTH) domain is a common denominator in basal and specific
transcription factors from the three super-kingdoms of life. At its core, the domain comprises …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) in bacteria is generally regarded as a regulatory
mechanism to ensure sequential utilization of carbohydrates. Selection of the carbon …

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 …

The name Staphylococcus (staphyle, bunch of grapes) was introduced by Ogston (1883) for
the group micrococci causing inflammation and suppuration. He was the first to differentiate …

▪ 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 …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) by transcriptional regulators follows different
mechanisms in gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In gram-positive bacteria, CcpA …

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

We report analyses of 202 fully sequenced genomes for homologues of known protein
constituents of the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system …
