The phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) is found
only in bacteria, where it catalyzes the transport and phosphorylation of numerous …

Numerous gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria take up carbohydrates through the
phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS). This system …

▪ Abstract The gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is capable of using numerous
carbohydrates as single sources of carbon and energy. In this review, we discuss the …

The solvent-forming Clostridia have attracted interest because of their ability to convert a
range of carbohydrates to end-products such as acetone, butanol and ethanol. Polymeric …

Chemoheterotrophic bacteria use a few central metabolic pathways for carbon catabolism
and energy production as well as for the generation of the main precursors for anabolic …

Glucose is the preferred carbon and energy source of Bacillus subtilis. It is transported into
the cell by the glucose‐specific phosphoenolpyruvatesugar phosphotransferase system …

The genes encoding the polysaccharide‐hydrolyzing enzymes are often organized in an
operon or regulon together with genes that encode the enzymes catalyzing the uptake of the …

The Bacillus subtilis glpFK operon encoding the glycerol transport facilitator (GlpF) and
glycerol kinase (GlpK) is induced by glycerol‐3‐P and repressed by rapidly metabolizable …

The mode of action of a group of glycosylated antimicrobial peptides known as glycocins
remains to be elucidated. In the current study of one glycocin, sublancin, we identified the …

The glpK genes of Enterococcus casseliflavus and Enterococcus faecalis, encoding glycerol
kinase, the key enzyme of glycerol uptake and metabolism in bacteria, have been cloned …
