Kinase-phosphatase competition regulates Bacillus subtilis development.

Abstract:

:The major regulator of sporulation initiation in Bacillus subtilis is the phosphorelay, a multicomponent signal transduction system. A myriad of signals, both positive and negative, from the environment, cell cycle and metabolism is received and interpreted by the phosphorelay and integrated through the opposing activity of protein kinases and protein aspartate phosphatases to create an extremely sophisticated regulatory network.

  • Endolithic fungi in marine ecosystems.

    abstract::Fungi are an important constituent of microbial endolithic assemblages in marine ecosystems. As euendoliths, they penetrate limestone, mollusk shells and other carbonate substrates, where they can exploit mineralized organic matter, attack their hosts, or engage in symbiotic relationships. They leave specific boring t...
