All the structural genes of riboflavin biosynthesis are shown to be located on the 2.8 MD DNA fragment, using the collection of plasmids, carrying the Bacillus subtilis riboflavin operon fragments and Bacillus subtilis strains, containing various deletions of rib-operon for analysis. The proximal Bgl II site is shown to be located between promoter P1 and the first structural gene ribG. The distal Hind III site of fragment C is the left bound of the rib-operon.

Sulfur is an essential element for life. Bacteria can obtain sulfur from inorganic sulfate; but in the sulfur starvation-induced response, employ two-component flavin-dependent monooxygenases (TC-FMOs) from the and operons to assimilate sulfur from environmental compounds including alkanesulfonates and dialkylsulfones. Here, we report binding studies of oxidized FMN to enzymes involved within the enzymatic pathway responsible for converting dimethylsulfone (DMSO) to sulfite.

Article Synopsis
- S. agalactiae is a harmful bacterial pathogen in aquatic animals, and baicalin has been found to significantly inhibit its β-hemolytic/cytolytic activity, which is crucial for its virulence.
- This study investigated how baicalin works by analyzing changes in gene expression after bacteria were treated with it, identifying 10 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to various biological functions and pathways.
- The findings suggest that baicalin disrupts key metabolic processes and pathways necessary for producing virulence factors, ultimately inhibiting S. agalactiae's harmful effects.

Riboflavin overproduction bywas achieved by screening synthetic operons, enabling fine-tuned expression of the riboflavin biosynthetic genesThe synthetic operons were designed by means of predicted translational initiation rates of each open reading frame, with the best-performing selection enabling riboflavin overproduction without negatively affecting cell growth. Overexpression of the fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase () and 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate aminotransferase () encoding genes was then done to redirect the metabolic flux towards the riboflavin precursors. The resulting strain produced 8.

Article Synopsis
- Bacillus subtilis is a key organism for riboflavin production, and modifying its enzymes can significantly boost yields.
- Research focused on expressing specific enzyme genes showed that including a synthetic operon resulted in over three times more riboflavin than control strains.
- Further enhancements, including genetic integration and optimization of growth conditions, led to a record riboflavin production level of 3477 mg/L, emphasizing the importance of the conversion steps from IMP to DARPP.

The application of synthetic biology tools to modulate gene expression to increase yield has been thoroughly demonstrated as an effective and convenient approach in industrial production. In this study, we employed a high-throughput screening strategy to identify a 5' UTR sequence from the genome of 168. This sequence resulted in a 5.
