  2. 1. Bacterial Terminal Oxidases. Studies in Bacillus subtilis

    Author : Lena Winstedt; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mycology; virology; mykologi; bakteriologi; Mikrobiologi; bacteriology; Microbiology; di-copper center; cytochrome oxidase; Enterococcus faecalis; cytochrome bd; Bacillus subtilis; terminal oxidase; virologi;

    Abstract : The final step in aerobic respiratory pathways is catalyzed by terminal oxidases. Bacteria generally have two or more terminal oxidases. Aerobically grown Bacillus subtilis synthesize three terminal oxidases: one cytochrome c oxidase, cytochrome caa3 and two quinol oxidases, cytochrome aa3 and cytochrome bd. READ MORE

  4. 2. Prokaryotic Arsenic Resistance - Studies in Bacillus subtilis

    Author : Emil Aaltonen; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ArsB; Bacillus subtilis; arsenic resistance; arsenate reduction; arsenite transport; gene regulation; arsenate; ArsR; arsenite; transmembrane topology; Acr3; ArsK;

    Abstract : Arsenic is a toxic metalloid which is found all over the globe. Due to its toxicity and wide abundance, all living organisms have evolved intrinsic arsenic resistance systems. In this study, three proteins that provide arsenic resistance in the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis have been investigated. READ MORE

  5. 3. Membrane-bound thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases in Bacillus subtilis

    Author : Lydur Erlendsson; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; virologi; mykologi; Mikrobiologi; mycology; virology; bacteriology; Microbiology; sporulation; cytochrome c; thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases; Bacillus subtilis; membrane proteins; bakteriologi;

    Abstract : Disulfide bonds in proteins are found between cysteine residues and are usually important for either function or stability of proteins. Thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases catalyse the formation or breakage of disulfide bonds in proteins. READ MORE

  6. 4. Stability determinants and decay of Bacillus subtilis mRNAs

    Author : Gustav Hambraeus; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; bacteriology; Microbiology; Bacillus subtilis; mRNA stability; degradation;

    Abstract : Degradation of mRNA is a controlled process which is as important for gene regulation as the synthesis of mRNA. This thesis focuses on mechanisms of mRNA stability and degradation in Bacillus subtilis, the model of Gram-positive bacteria. READ MORE

  7. 5. Redox Regulation and Stress Responses - Studies in Bacillus subtilis

    Author : Jonas Larsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; redox sensor; oxygen sensor; reactive nitrogen species; RNS; Biology; Biologi; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; bakteriologi; Mikrobiologi; virologi; mykologi; Bacillus subtilis; Rex; yjbI; ydiH; yjbH; redox regulation;

    Abstract : Redox reactions are central to all organisms to sustain life. Both anabolic and catabolic metabolism depends on them. It is thus vital to sense and adjust the redox balance in the cell. One major factor affecting the redox status is the level of oxygen present. READ MORE
