Molecular mechanisms controlling fructose-specific memory and catabolite repression in lactose metabolism by Streptococcus mutans.

abstract：:A locust within chromosome XIII of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing four genes upregulated by osmotic stress has been characterized. Two of the genes, but not their osmotic induction, were already described: the DNA damage-inducible gene DDR48 and the protease inhibitor gene PAI3. The two novel genes encode a cytop...
