A New Physiological Role for CcpA in Adaptation of Bacillus Subtilis to Sugar-Induced Osmotic Stress
The model Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is liable to be exposed to high-salinity environments in its natural habitats and is often used in fermentation with high concentrations of glucose or other sugars. High salinity or high concentrations of sugars can cause osmotic stress to B. subtilis [1]. The saltinduced osmotic stress can activate signalling pathways to induce expression of ...
متن کاملStress proteins and cross-protection by heat shock and salt stress in Bacillus subtilis.
Bacillus subtilis induced a set of general stress proteins in response to a salt or heat stress. Cells subjected to a mild heat stress showed a protective response which enabled them to survive otherwise lethal temperatures (e.g. 52 degrees C). In a similar way bacteria were enabled to survive toxic concentrations of NaCl by pretreatment with lower salt concentrations. A mild heat shock induced...
متن کاملDimethylglycine provides salt and temperature stress protection to Bacillus subtilis.
Glycine betaine is a potent osmotic and thermal stress protectant of many microorganisms. Its synthesis from glycine results in the formation of the intermediates monomethylglycine (sarcosine) and dimethylglycine (DMG), and these compounds are also produced when it is catabolized. Bacillus subtilis does not produce sarcosine or DMG, and it cannot metabolize these compounds. Here we have studied...
متن کاملExpression of the sigmaB-dependent general stress regulon confers multiple stress resistance in Bacillus subtilis.
The alternative sigma factor sigmaB of Bacillus subtilis is required for the induction of approximately 100 genes after the imposition of a whole range of stresses and energy limitation. In this study, we investigated the impact of a null mutation in sigB on the stress and starvation survival of B. subtilis. sigB mutants which failed to induce the regulon following stress displayed an at least ...
متن کاملSalt stress adaptation of Bacillus subtilis: a physiological proteomics approach.
The adaptation to osmotic stress is crucial for growth and survival of Bacillus subtilis in its natural ecosystem. Dual channel imaging and warping of 2-D protein gels were used to visualize global changes in the protein synthesis pattern of cells in response to osmotic stress (6% NaCl). Many vegetative enzymes were repressed in response to salt stress and derepressed after resumption of growth...
