Benzoic Acid-Inducible Gene Expression in Mycobacteria
Dragset, Marte Singsås; Barczak, Amy K.; Kannan, Nisha; Mærk, Mali; Flo, Trude Helen; Valla, Svein; Rubin, Eric J.; Steigedal, Magnus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Conditional expression is a powerful tool to investigate the role of bacterial genes. Here, we adapt the Pseudomonas putida-derived positively regulated XylS/Pm expression system to control inducible gene expression in ... -
Identification of genes affecting alginate biosynthesis in Pseudomonas fluorescens by screening a transposon insertion library.
Ertesvåg, Helga; Sletta, Håvard; Senneset, Mona; Sun, Yi-Qian; Klinkenberg, Geir; Konradsen, Therese Aursand; Ellingsen, Trond E; Valla, Svein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)BACKGROUND: Polysaccharides often are necessary components of bacterial biofilms and capsules. Production of these biopolymers constitutes a drain on key components in the central carbon metabolism, but so far little is ... -
Safety in numbers: multiple occurrences of highly similar homologs among Azotobacter vinelandii carbohydrate metabolism proteins probably confer adaptive benefits
Mærk, Mali; Johansen, Jostein; Ertesvåg, Helga; Drabløs, Finn; Valla, Svein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background Gene duplication and horizontal gene transfer are common processes in bacterial and archaeal genomes, and are generally assumed to result in either diversification or loss of the redundant gene copies. However, ...
