The bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS)
carries out both catalytic and regulatory functions. It catalyzes the transport and …

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

In Escherichia coli, the main player in transcription regulation of fatty acid metabolism is the
FadR protein, which is involved in negative regulation of fatty acid degradation and in …

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

▪ 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 solvent-forming Clostridia have attracted interest because of their ability to convert a
range of carbohydrates to end-products such as acetone, butanol and ethanol. Polymeric …

A global mechanism of catabolite repression of the genus Bacillus comprises negative
regulation exerted through the binding of the CcpA protein to the catabolite-responsive …

The ability to degrade the amino acid histidine to ammonia, glutamate, and a one-carbon
compound (formate or formamide) is a property that is widely distributed among bacteria …

We used 2D protein gel electrophoresis and DNA microarray technologies to systematically
analyze genes under glucose repression in Bacillus subtilis. In particular, we focused on …
