Abstract:Bacterial species display unique and common molecular mechanisms for
nutrient acquisition depending on their habitat. Molecular details of
xylan utilization by plant pathogens and human commensal bacteria have
been reported but no significant reports can be found for environmental
bacteria. Caulobacter crescentus is a gram-negative, oligotrophic,
environmental bacterium with unique adaptations for growth in
low-nutrient conditions. C. crescentus’ genome codes for a repertoire of
genes that can facilitate xylan… Show more
