Identification and Characterization of a Novel d-Branched-Chain Amino Acids Importer from Lactobacillus fermentum. [PDF]

open access: yesChembiochem
Certain lactic acid bacteria produce d‐branched‐chain amino acids (d‐BCAA) and encode isoleucine 2‐epimerase (ILEP) and an uncharacterized transporter (AAP). We demonstrate that the transporter is a novel, non‐stereospecific BCAA importer. The ILEP‐AAP operon likely aids in storing and utilizing BCAA in a form less accessible to other organisms ...

Production of Acetoin through Simultaneous Utilization of Glucose, Xylose, and Arabinose by Engineered Bacillus subtilis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Glucose, xylose and arabinose are the three most abundant monosaccharide found in lignocellulosic biomass. Effectively and simultaneously utilization of these sugars by microorganisms for production of the biofuels and bio-chemicals is essential toward ...

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Production Using an Arabinose-Inducible Expression System in Comparison With Cold Shock Inducible Expression System in Escherichia coli

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Cupriavidus necator strain A-04 has shown 16S rRNA gene identity to the well-known industrial strain C. necator H16. Nevertheless, the cell characteristics and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production ability of C.

Functional characterization of unique enzymes in Xanthomonas euvesicatoria related to degradation of arabinofurano-oligosaccharides on hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
In this study, we clarified the functions of three uncharacterized enzymes, XCV2724, XCV2728, and XCV2729, in Xanthomonas euvesicatoria, the causal agent of bacterial spot of tomato and pepper. The genes corresponding to the three enzymes are homologs of

Regulatory Landscape of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Phosphoethanolamine Transferase Gene eptA in the Context of Colistin Resistance

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2023
Pseudomonas aeruginosa has the genetic potential to acquire colistin resistance through the modification of lipopolysaccharide by the addition of 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose (L-Ara4N) or phosphoethanolamine (PEtN), mediated by the arn operon or the eptA ...

Current Update on Intrinsic and Acquired Colistin Resistance Mechanisms in Bacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2021
Colistin regained global interest as a consequence of the rising prevalence of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae. In parallel, colistin-resistant bacteria emerged in response to the unregulated use of this antibiotic.

An altered immune response, but not individual cationic antimicrobial peptides, is associated with the oral attenuation of Ara4N-deficient Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) uses two-component regulatory systems (TCRS) to respond to stimuli in the local microenvironment.
