Myo-inositol facilitators IolT1 and IolT2 enhance D-mannitol formation from D-fructose in Corynebacterium glutamicum.

abstract：:Rifampicin is a principal drug used to combat infections by mycobacteria and related organisms. Most strains of Mycobacterium are able to inactivate this antibiotic by ribosylation via an ADP-ribosylated intermediate. We found that this inactivation was inhibited by light at levels similar to those prevailing in labor...

abstract：:The copZ gene of Bacillus subtilis encodes a copper chaperon CopZ that donates copper to the copper transporter CopA. Both genes copZ and copA are clustered to an operon and its promoter is regulated by Cu ions and CueR, a Mer-like transcriptional activator. Here we show that cadmium ions activate copZA expression as ...
