Bacteria can be adapted to adverse and detrimental conditions that induce general and
specific responses to DNA damage as well as acid, heat, cold, starvation, oxidative …

Two-component systems (TCS) comprising sensor histidine kinases and response regulator
proteins are among the most important players in bacterial and archaeal signal transduction …

Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective procedure for the treatment of obesity. Given
the role of the gut microbiota in regulating host metabolism and adiposity, we investigated …

Cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) serves as a bacterial second

Two-component systems reprogramme diverse aspects of microbial physiology in response
to environmental cues. Canonical systems are composed of a transmembrane sensor …

We review what is currently understood about how the structure of the primary solid
component of mucus, the glycoprotein mucin, gives rise to the mechanical and biochemical …

The clinical importance of the genus Enterococcus is directly related to its antibiotic
resistance, which contributes to the risk of colonization and infection. The species of the …

Symbiotic bacteria inhabiting the human gut have evolved under intense pressure to utilize
complex carbohydrates, primarily plant cell wall glycans in our diets. These polysaccharides …

Bacteria have evolved many different signal transduction systems that sense signals and
generate a variety of responses. Generally, most abundant are transcriptional regulators …

ArcAB, also known as the Arc system, is a member of the two-component system family of
