Studies on bacterial physiology are incomplete without knowledge of the signalling and
regulatory systems that a bacterium uses to sense and respond to its environment. Two …

Microbes typically live in complex habitats, where they need to rapidly adapt to continuously
changing growth conditions. To do so, they produce an astonishing array of natural products …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses one of the most complex bacterial regulatory
networks, which largely contributes to its success as a pathogen. However, most of its …

Response to acid stress is critical for Escherichia coli to successfully complete its life-cycle.
Acid resistance is an indispensable mechanism that allows neutralophilic bacteria, such as …

The cellulolytic insect symbiont bacterium Streptomyces sp. strain SirexAA-E secretes a
suite of c arbohydrate-a ctive en z ymes (CAZymes), which are involved in the degradation …

Background Flowering at the right time is a very important factor affecting the stable annual
yield of longan. However, a lack of knowledge of the regulatory mechanism and key genes …

This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of nitrite degradation by Lactobacillus
plantarum DMDL9010 using the proteomic technology. The results showed that 0.276 g L− 1 …

Nitrate metabolism is an adaptation mechanism used by many bacteria for survival in
anaerobic environments. As a by-product of inflammation, nitrate is used by the intestinal …

Background Pathogenic bacteria grow in different environments and have developed
signaling systems known as two-component systems that allow them to thrive in distinct …

Two-component systems (TCS) are a major means by which microorganisms interact with
their environments. In a typical TCS, a sensor kinase senses an environmental stimulus and …
