Analysis of genetic stability, growth curve, carbon utilization and scanning electronic microscopy showed that, except for 5-FU resistance, there were no significant differences between the wild type and mutant lactic acid bacteria.
The bacterium contains a wide spectrum of genes for carbon utilization and carbohydrate, amino acid and inorganic ion transport.
The link between carbon source utilization and PrfA regulation of L. monocytogenes virulence gene products has long been recognized but has remained poorly defined.
They introduced a measure for calculating the distance between organisms based on the carbon utilization spectra and the nutrient profiles of the metabolic networks [ 5].
Most bacteria have evolved tailored carbon utilization pathways and regulatory schemes for the uptake and catabolism of carbon sources in their environment.
Biological process terms related to primary metabolism eg. carbon utilization, organophosphate and secondary metabolism, electron transport, cell communication, cellular homeostasis and interspecies interactions between organisms were only present in the up-regulated list.
Specifically, photosynthesis, carbon utilization, ABA and ethylene pathways were affected in both NAA- and shading-induced young fruit abscission.
Biologs are 96-well plates that test metabolic phenotypes [ 7], including 71 carbon utilization assays and 23 chemical sensitivity assays.
The Δ snfA strain was included because in S. cerevisiae, the antagonism between PKA and Snf1 regulates carbon utilization [ 39, 40], while in A. nidulans SnfA has a great influence on cellulase/xylanase induction and CCR [ 8, 18, 19].
The most represented biological process terms were related to development (36.87%) and carbon utilization (35%).
