Distribution of genes for synthesis of trehalose and mannosylglycerate in Thermus spp. and direct correlation of these genes with halotolerance

Article Abstract:

The presence of genes leading to the synthesis of trehalose and mannosylglycerate (MG) in 17 strains of the genus Thermus with the ability of the strains to grow and accumulate these compatible solutes in a defined medium containing NaCl is correlated. The results indicated that the combined accumulation of trehalose and MG is required for optimal osmotic adjustment.

Development of a thermally regulated broad-spectrum promoter system for use in pathogenic gram-positive species

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on gene expression regulation. The authors demonstrate that P1 temperature-sensitive C1 repressor can control gene expression via the use of promoters in pathogenic gram-positive species.
