Myxobacteria are Gram-negative δ-proteobacteria found predominantly in terrestrial habitats and often brightly colored due to the biosynthesis of carotenoids. Carotenoids are lipophilic …
Genomic studies of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria have revealed loci associated with resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs. However, the molecular consequences of …
In this study, newly identified small molecules were examined for efficacy against 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' in commercial groves of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) …
Expression of CRISPR-Cas systems is a prerequisite for their defensive role against invading genetic elements. Yet, much remains unknown about how this crucial step is …

Regulation of bacterial transcription is a complex and multi‐faceted phenomenon that is critical for growth and adaptation. Proteins in the CarD_CdnL_TRCF family are widespread …
In the Central Andean region in South America, high-altitude ecosystems (3500–6000 masl) are distributed across Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, and Peru, in which poly-extremophilic …
CdnL is an essential RNA polymerase (RNAP)-binding activator of rRNA transcription in mycobacteria and myxobacteria but reportedly not in Bacillus. Whether its function and …
In Liberibacter asiaticus, PrbP is an important transcriptional accessory protein that was found to regulate gene expression through interactions with the RNA polymerase β-subunit …
The mycobacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) is an essential and validated drug target for developing antibacterial drugs. The β-subunit of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) RNAP …
