COL is an unusual “model” strain of Staphylococcus aureus that exhibits slow growth and multidrug antibiotic tolerance. This phenotype is primarily due to a mutation in Prs, which synthesizes the core metabolite phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP). Introduction of the COL Prs allele into the antibiotic‐susceptible strain Newman confers tolerance, while

The dual transcriptional regulator CysR in Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 controls a subset of genes of the McbR regulon in response to the availability of sulphide acceptor molecules [PDF]
Background: Regulation of sulphur metabolism in Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 has been studied intensively in the last few years, due to its industrial as well as scientific importance.

DASH: a versatile and high‐capacity gene stacking system for plant synthetic biology
Summary DNA assembly systems based on the Golden Gate method are popular in synthetic biology but have several limitations: small insert size, incompatibility with other cloning platforms, DNA domestication requirement, generation of fusion scars, and lack of post‐assembly modification.

ABSTRACT Rhizorhabdus wittichii RW1 is known for its ability to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as dibenzo‐p‐dioxin (DD) and dibenzofuran (DF). We hypothesized that the R. wittichii RW1 benzoate 1,2‐dioxygenase shares electron transfer components with the DD/DF angular dioxygenase (DxnA1A2), similar to many aromatic hydrocarbon degrading

Evaluation of Engineering Potential in Undomesticated Microbes With VECTOR
Undomesticated microbes hold vast genetic potential for synthetic biology but are difficult to engineer due to unique physiological traits and inefficient plasmid delivery. This study develops VECTOR (Versatile Engineering and Characterisation of Transferable Origins and Resistance), a high‐throughput pipeline using modular vectors to improve plasmid ...

Role of methylotrophy during symbiosis between Methylobacterium nodulans and Crotalaria podocarpa [PDF]
Some rare leguminous plants of the genus Crotalaria are specifically nodulated by the methylotrophic bacterium Methylobacterium nodulans. In this study, the expression and role of bacterial methylotrophy were investigated during symbiosis between M ...

Revision and expansion of the genus Spirirestis (Tolypothrichaceae, Cyanobacteria)
Abstract Recent phylogenetic analyses of members of the Tolypothrichaceae (Nostocales, Cyanobacteria) based on 16S rRNA gene sequence data have demonstrated that the soil‐inhabiting members of the family belong to a clade separate from the aquatic and subaerial members of the family.

A Serratia marcescens PigP Homolog Controls Prodigiosin Biosynthesis, Swarming Motility and Hemolysis and Is Regulated by cAMP-CRP and HexS [PDF]
Swarming motility and hemolysis are virulence-associated determinants for a wide array of pathogenic bacteria. The broad host-range opportunistic pathogen Serratia marcescens produces serratamolide, a small cyclic amino-lipid, that promotes swarming ...

A novel TetR‐like regulator (EppR) has been identified to repress genes encoding DNA polymerase V in Acinetobacter baumannii through the direct binding of a conserved EppR motif in their promoters. EppR works with previously identified regulator UmuDAb to serve as co‐regulators of these genes. In response to DNA damage and/or environmental stress, both

We show that a sucrose gene cluster enhances the fitness and pathogenicity of Pseudomonas syringae pv. aesculi on horse chestnut, highlighting sucrose metabolism as important for tree colonisation. ABSTRACT Pseudomonas syringae pathovar aesculi (E‐Pae) causes bleeding canker disease in the woody tissue of European horse chestnut (HC).
