Ethanolamine is a compound that can be readily derived from cell membranes and that
some bacteria can use as a source of carbon and/or nitrogen. The complex biology and …

Ethanolamine (EA) is a valuable source of carbon and/or nitrogen for bacteria capable of its
catabolism. Because it is derived from the membrane phospholipid …

Ethanolamine can be used as a source of carbon and nitrogen by phylogenetically diverse
bacteria. Ethanolamine-ammonia lyase, the enzyme that breaks ethanolamine into …

A fragment of the Salmonella typhimurium ethanolamine utilization operon was cloned and
characterized. The 6.3-kb nucleotide sequence encoded six complete open reading frames …

Ethanolamine, a product of the breakdown of phosphatidylethanolamine from cell
membranes, is abundant in the human intestinal tract and in processed foods. Effective …

Acetoin is an important physiological metabolite excreted by many microorganisms. The
excretion of acetoin, which can be diagnosed by the Voges Proskauer test and serves as a …

During growth on ethanolamine, Salmonella enterica synthesizes a multimolecular structure
that mimics the carboxysome used by some photosynthetic bacteria to fix CO2. In S …

Bacterial pathogens must be able to both recognize suitable niches within the host for
colonization and successfully compete with commensal flora for nutrients in order to …

The production of bulk chemicals mostly depends on exhausting petroleum sources and
leads to emission of greenhouse gases. Within the last decades the urgent need for …

The acetogenic bacterium Acetobacterium woodii is able to grow by the oxidation of diols,
such as 1, 2-propanediol, 2, 3-butanediol, or ethylene glycol. Recent analyses demonstrated …
