Journal ArticleDOI
Combined transcriptome and proteome analysis as a powerful approach to study genes under glucose repression in Bacillus subtilis
Ken-ichi Yoshida,Kazuo Kobayashi,Yasuhiko Miwa,Choong-Min Kang,Masayuki Matsunaga,Hirotake Yamaguchi,Shigeo Tojo,Mami Yamamoto,Ryoko Nishi,Naotake Ogasawara,Tatsuo Nakayama,Yasutaro Fujita +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that CcpA and IolR, a repressor of the iol divergon, were involved in the glucose repression of the synthesis of inositol dehydrogenase encoded by iolG included in the above list.
Journal ArticleDOI
BslA(YuaB) forms a hydrophobic layer on the surface of Bacillus subtilis biofilms
Kazuo Kobayashi,Megumi Iwano +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that BslA, standing for biofilm‐surface layer protein, is responsible for the hydrophobic layer on the surface of biofilms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gradual Activation of the Response Regulator DegU Controls Serial Expression of Genes for Flagellum Formation and Biofilm Formation in Bacillus Subtilis
TL;DR: It is proposed that a gradual increase in DegU and phospho‐DegU levels induces a transition from growth as motile cells to growth as sessile, biofilm‐forming cells.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Inferring gene regulatory networks from time-ordered gene expression data of Bacillus subtilis using differential equations.
TL;DR: This work proposes to infer the degree of sparseness of the gene regulatory network from the data, where Akaike's Information Criterion is used to determine which coefficients are nonzero in a linear system of differential equations.
BslA (YuaB) forms a hydrophobic layer on the surface of
Kazuo Kobayashi,Megumi Iwano +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, BslA (formerly YuaB) was identified as a major contributor to the surface repellency of Bacillus subtilis biofilms, which probably explains the broad-spectrum resistance of the bacteria in these bio-films to antimicrobial agents.
