Genome-Wide Analysis of Sugar Transporters Identifies the gtsA Gene for Glucose Transportation in Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501.

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501 possesses an extraordinary number of transporters which confer this rhizosphere bacterium with the sophisticated ability to metabolize various carbon sources. However, sugars are not a preferred carbon source for P. stutzeri A1501. The P. stutzeri A1501 genome has been sequenced, allowing for the homology-based in silico identification of genes potentially encoding sugar-transport systems by using established microbial sugar transporters as a template sequence. Genomic analysis revealed that there were 10 sugar transporters in P. stutzeri A1501, most of which belong to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family (5/10); the others belong to the phosphotransferase system (PTS), major intrinsic protein (MIP) family, major facilitator superfamily (MFS) and the sodium solu
