ABSTRACT Next to Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis is the most studied and best
understood organism that also serves as a model for many important pathogens. Due to its …

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

Matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF
MS) is an excellent tool for bacterial identification. It allows high throughput, sensitive and …

▪ 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 histidine-containing protein (HPr) is the energy coupling protein of the
phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent carbohydrate: phosphotransferase system (PTS), which …

Glycolysis is one of the most important metabolic pathways in heterotrophic organisms.
Several genes encoding glycolytic enzymes are essential in many bacteria even under …

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF
MS) has been used to identify bacteria based upon protein signatures. This research shows …

The proteome of growing cells of Bacillus subtilis was analyzed in order to provide the basis
for its application in microbial physiology. DNA arrays were used to calculate the number of …

Bacteria utilise carbon sources in a strictly controlled hierarchical manner for which they
have developed global control mechanisms that govern and coordinate carbon source …

Previous studies have shown that the CcpA protein of Bacillus subtilis is a major
transcription factor mediating catabolite repression. We report here whole‐transcriptome …
