One of the most salient features of Bacillus subtilis and related bacilli is their natural capacity
to secrete a variety of proteins into their environment, frequently to high concentrations. This …

Bacillus subtilis and its close relatives are widely used for the production of enzymes for the
detergent, food and beverage industries. These organisms not only produce an appropriate …

In contrast to Gram-negative bacteria, secretory proteins of Gram-positive bacteria only need
to traverse a single membrane to enter the extracellular environment. For this reason, Gram …

Four years after the original sequence submission, we have re-annotated the genome of
Mycoplasma pneumoniae to incorporate novel data. The total number of ORFss has been …

Protein translocation across the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane has been studied
extensively in Escherichia coli. The identification of the components involved and …

Abstract Background The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is an important producer
of high quality industrial enzymes and a few eukaryotic proteins. Most of these proteins are …

To analyse the proteome of Bacillus subtilis extracellular proteins, extracellular protein
samples were prepared from culture media (minimal medium containing 0· 4% glucose) of …

In bacteria, the translocase mediates the translocation of proteins into or across the cytosolic
membrane. It consists of a membrane embedded protein-conducting channel and a …

Translocase mediates preprotein translocation across the Escherichia coli inner membrane.
It consists of the SecYEG integral membrane protein complex and the peripheral ATPase …

Abstract The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis and some of its close relatives are
widely used for the industrial production of enzymes for the detergents, food, and beverage …
