This study provides a global expression map of one of the largest transporter families (transportome) and an invaluable tool to both understand their solute specificity and the relationships between members of large paralogous families.

Examination of the effects of copper on niche partitioning within the genus Nitrospira in full-scale filters suggests that copper availability plays a role in determining the diversity and distribution of NitroSpira spp in nitrifying environments.
Galactitol catabolism in Sinorhizobium meliloti is dependent on a chromosomally encoded sorbitol dehydrogenase and a pSymB-encoded operon necessary for tagatose catabolism

The data suggest that several transport systems, including the chromosomal ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter smoEFGK, contribute to the uptake of galactitol, while the adjacent gene smoS encodes a protein for oxidation of Galactitol into tagatose, which is further metabolized by the enzymes of the Entner–Doudoroff pathway.
