(Submitter supplied) BACKGROUND: With the aim of remaining viable, bacteria must deal with changes in environmental conditions, including increases in external osmolarity. While studies concerning bacterial response to this stress condition have focused on soil, marine and enteric species, this report is about Caulobacter crescentus, a species inhabiting freshwater oligotrophic habitats. RESULTS: A genomic analysis reported in this study shows that most of the classical genes known to be involved in intracellular solute accumulation under osmotic adaptation are missing in C. more...

(Submitter supplied) We report gene expression responses of Caulobacter crescentus to osmotic upshock (150 mM sucrose). The goal of this study is compare the transcriptional responses of wild type, sigT deletion, and gsrN overexpression (gsrN++) strains. The data provide a high resolution view of how two major regulators of the general stress response (sigT and gsrN) shape transcription upon shift to a hyperosmotic environment.

(Submitter supplied) The Alphaproteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus inhabits low-nutrient environments and can tolerate certain levels of heavy metal in these sites. It has been reported that C. crescentus responds to chromium exposure by altering expression of a large number of genes. In this work, we showed that the ECF sigma factor SigF is one of the regulatory proteins involved in the control of this transcriptional response. more...

(Submitter supplied) Potassium (K+) is an essential physiological element determining membrane potential, intracellular pH, osmotic/turgor pressure, and protein synthesis in cells. Nevertheless, K+ homeostasis remains poorly studied in bacteria. Here we describe the regulation of potassium uptake systems in the oligotrophic -proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus known as a model for asymmetric cell division. We show that C. more...

(Submitter supplied) Potassium (K+) is an essential physiological element determining membrane potential, intracellular pH, osmotic/turgor pressure, and protein synthesis in cells. Here we describe the regulation of potassium uptake systems in the oligotrophic alpha-proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus known as a model for asymmetric cell division. We show that C. crescentus can grow in concentrations from the micromolar to the millimolar range by mainly using two K+ transporters to maintain potassium homeostasis, the low affinity Kup and the high affinity Kdp uptake systems. more...

(Submitter supplied) The alkaliphilic halotolerant bacterium Bacillus sp. N16-5 often faces salt stress in its natural habitats. One-color microarrays was used to investigate transcriptome expression profiles of Bacillus sp. N16-5 adaptation reactions to prolonged grown at different salinities (0%, 2%, 8% and 15% NaCl) and the initial reaction to suddenly alter salinity from 0% to 8% NaCl.

(Submitter supplied) In order to reveal so far unknown facets of the adaptation of B. subtilis to growth under high-salinity conditions, a whole-transcriptome analysis of B. subtilis BSB (168 Trp+) was performed using strand-specific tiling arrays (tiling step of 22 nucleotides). In addition, the effects of glycine betaine (GB) were analyzed under high salinity and standard growth conditions in a chemically defined medium. more...

(Submitter supplied) Arctic Mesorhizobium strain N33 was isolated from nodules of the Oxytropis arctobia in Canada’s eastern Arctic. This symbiotic bacterium can grow from 0 to 30°C, is one of the best known cold-adapted rhizobia, and can fix nitrogen at ~10°C. Here, the key molecular mechanisms of cold adaptation were investigated by determining changes in transcript profiles when cells were treated under eight different temperature conditions, including both sustained and transient cold treatments compared with cells grown at room temperature.

(Submitter supplied) Two excessive NaCl concentrations (0.25% and 1.5%) and two periods of treatment (7 min and 45 min) were used as moderate- and high-salt sress conditions at early and later stages of response, respectively. As a baseline, samples from cells grown on a standard SIS medium in the same growing system and same illumination were used. Keywords: time course and dose response

(Submitter supplied) The extracytoplasmic function sigma factor σT is the master regulator of general stress response in Caulobacter crescentus, and controls the expression of its paralogue σU. This work showed that PhyR and NepR act as positive and negative regulators, respectively, of σT expression and function. Biochemical data also indicated that NepR directly binds σT and the phosphorylated form of PhyR. We also demonstrated the essential role of the histidine kinase gene CC3474, here denominated phyK, for expression of σT-dependent genes and for resistance to stress conditions. more...
