Shewanella oneidensis arcA Mutation Impairs Aerobic Growth Mainly by Compromising Translation
Arc (anoxic redox control), one of the most intensely investigated two-component regulatory systems in γ-proteobacteria, plays a major role in mediating the metabolic transition from aerobiosis to anaerobiosis.

Bacterial pathways for the biosynthesis of ubiquinone [PDF]
Ubiquinone is an important component of the electron transfer chains in proteobacteria and eukaryotes. The biosynthesis of ubiquinone requires multiple steps, most of which are common to bacteria and eukaryotes. Whereas the enzymes of the mitochondrial pathway that produces ubiquinone are highly similar across eukaryotes, recent results point to a ...
