By using metabolite-sensing global regulators to control virulence genes, bacteria are able to link damage to the host to the overall metabolic status of the bacterium. The steps in metabolism ...

The MEP pathway is an essential part of the energy metabolism of several bacteria, including the hospital germ Pseudomonas aeruginosa. If the MEP pathway in bacteria is blocked, for example by a ...

The HIPS is a site of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in collaboration with Saarland University. The MEP pathway is an essential part of the energy metabolism of several bacteria, ...

Environmental control of metabolism Micro-organisms include prokaryotes (archaea, bacteria) as well as some species of eukaryotes. They can be grown in laboratories and require specific conditions ...

some bacteria possess an additional tool for protein biosynthesis—a protein called EfpL, which is closely related to EF-P. In contrast to EF-P, however, this protein reacts to the metabolism of ...

A study published in PNAS reveals how a bacterial pathogen coordinates N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) metabolism at the post-transcriptional level via a novel small noncoding RNA to promote ...
