Galactose catabolism in Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
Caulobacter crescentus wild-type strain CB13 is unable to utilize galactose as the sole carbon source unless derivatives of cyclic AMP are present. Spontaneous mutants have been isolated which are able to grow on galactose in the absence of exogenous cyclic nucleotides.

Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are prophage-like entities found in many bacterial genomes that cannot propagate themselves and instead package approximately 5 to 15 kbp fragments of the host genome that can then be transferred to related recipient cells ...

Analysis of caulobacter crescentus lipids [PDF]
The lipids of Caulobacter crescentus, a procaryotic species which differentiates into stalked and swarmer cell types, were analyzed. Major lipid classes were purified by chromatography and identified by both chromatographic and chemical methods.

Utilization of Histidine by Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
Caulobacter crescentus has an inducible pathway which is responsible for the degradation of histidine. Induction of this pathway occurs in the presence of both glucose and ammonia. Growth yield experiments indicate that only two of the three available nitrogens are used for growth suggesting that formamide may be produced as a waste product.

Stalkless mutants of Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
A stalk, a single falgellum, several pili, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) phage receptors are polar surface structures expressed at a defined time in the Caulobacter crescentus cell cycle. When mutants were isolated as DNA phage phiCbK-resistant or ribonucleic acid (RNA) phage phiCp2-resistant, as well as nonmotile, strains, 5 out of 30 such mutant ...

The Caulobacter genus, including the widely-studied model organism Caulobacter crescentus, has been thought to be non-pathogenic and thus proposed as a bioengineering vector for various environmental remediation and medical purposes. However, Caulobacter

A comparison of the Caulobacter NA1000 and K31 genomes reveals extensive genome rearrangements and differences in metabolic potential [PDF]
The genus Caulobacter is found in a variety of habitats and is known for its ability to thrive in low-nutrient conditions. K31 is a novel Caulobacter isolate that has the ability to tolerate copper and chlorophenols, and can grow at 4°C with a doubling ...

RNA-controlled regulation in Caulobacter crescentus
In the past decades, Caulobacter crescentus has been extensively studied, mostly regarding its dimorphic, asymmetric life cycle. Its distinct mode of reproduction and the need to optimally adapt to ever-changing environmental conditions require tight coordination of gene regulation.
