Adaptation of Bacillus subtilis to growth at low temperature: a combined transcriptomic and proteomic appraisal.

The soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis frequently encounters a reduction in temperature in its natural habitats. Here, a combined transcriptomic and proteomic approach has been used to analyse the adaptational responses of B. subtilis to low temperature.

Genome-wide transcriptional profiling analysis of adaptation of Bacillus subtilis to high salinity.

The gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis often faces increases in the salinity in its natural habitats. A transcriptional profiling approach was utilized to investigate both the initial reaction to a sudden increase in salinity elicited by the addition of 0.4 M NaCl and the cellular adaptation reactions to prolonged growth at high salinity (1.

Control of temperature-responsive synthesis of the phytotoxin coronatine in Pseudomonas syringae by the unconventional two-component system CorRPS.

The phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae produces the phytotoxin coronatine (COR) as a major virulence factor. COR and its precursor, coronafacic acid, function as molecular mimics of the plant signaling molecule jasmonate. A 32.
