We carried out globlal proteomics analysis on P. aeruginosa PAO1 and ΔodsR (ΔPA2076) strains to determine differences following treatment with OA, 10-HOME, or 7,10-DiHOME oxylipin vs non-treated controls.
Xanthan gum, a natural heteropolysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas species, has many biotechnological applications across industries due to its unique rheological properties. Expanding its utility requires specific enzymes capable of targeted xanthan modification or degradation. In this study, a no...
Given sustainability and scalability concerns of using sugar feedstocks for microbial bioproduction of bulk chemicals, widening the feedstock range for microbial cell factories is of high interest. Methanol is a one-carbon alcohol that stands out as an alternative feedstock for the bioproduction of ...
Due to the high capacity of their secretion machinery Gram-positive bacteria from the genus Bacillus are important expression hosts for the high-yield production of enzymes in industrial biotechnology. However, to date strains from only a few Bacillus species are used for enzyme production at the in...
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is a common strategy to selectively prevent the growth of certain species of meat spoiling bacteria. While studies on the effectiveness of MAP are still scarce on a putative control over the population of photobacteria detected as meat spoilers, they could develop...
Bacterial translational elongation factor P (EF-P) is required during translation of proteins containing consecutive proline motifs. Several transcription and translational regulators contain polyproline motifs and therefore, EF-P might also affect levels of proteins that do not contain polyproline ...
Stalling of ribosomes due to consecutive proline motifs during polypeptide synthesis is a challenge faced by organisms across all kingdoms. To overcome this, bacteria employ translation elongation factor P (EF-P), while archaea and eukaryotes rely on a/eIF5A. Typically, these elongation factors beco...
