Identification and functional analysis of the gene cluster for L-arabinose utilization in Corynebacterium glutamicum.
Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 31831 grew on l-arabinose as the sole carbon source at a specific growth rate that was twice that on d-glucose. The gene cluster responsible for l-arabinose utilization comprised a six-cistron transcriptional unit with a total length of 7.8 kb. Three l-arabinose-catabolizing genes, araA (encoding l-arabinose isomerase), araB (l-ribulokinase), and araD (l-ribulose...
متن کاملA novel transcriptional regulator of L-arabinose utilization in human gut bacteria
Carbohydrate metabolism plays a crucial role in the ecophysiology of human gut microbiota. Mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of sugar catabolism in commensal and prevalent human gut bacteria such as Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron remain mostly unknown. By a combination of bioinformatics and experimental approaches, we have identified an NrtR family transcription factor (BT0354 in B. thetai...
متن کاملRegulation of L-lactate utilization by the FadR-type regulator LldR of Corynebacterium glutamicum.
Corynebacterium glutamicum can grow on L-lactate as a sole carbon and energy source. The NCgl2816-lldD operon encoding a putative transporter (NCgl2816) and a quinone-dependent L-lactate dehydrogenase (LldD) is required for L-lactate utilization. DNA affinity chromatography revealed that the FadR-type regulator LldR (encoded by NCgl2814) binds to the upstream region of NCgl2816-lldD. Overexpres...
متن کاملImproving L-arabinose utilization of pentose fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells by heterologous expression of L-arabinose transporting sugar transporters
BACKGROUND Hydrolysates of plant biomass used for the production of lignocellulosic biofuels typically contain sugar mixtures consisting mainly of D-glucose and D-xylose, and minor amounts of L-arabinose. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the preferred microorganism for the fermentative production of ethanol but is not able to ferment pentose sugars. Although D-xylose and L-arabinose fermen...
متن کاملNegative regulation of L-arabinose metabolism in Bacillus subtilis: characterization of the araR (araC) gene.
The Bacillus subtilis araC locus, mapped at about 294 degrees on the genetic map, was defined by mutations conferring an Ara- phenotype to strains bearing the metabolic araA, araB, and araD wild-type alleles (located at about 256 degrees on the genetic map) and by mutants showing constitutive expression of the three genes. In previous work, it has been postulated that the gene in which these mu...
