Sucrose utilisation in bacteria: genetic organisation and regulation

Sharon J. Reid, V Abratt
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
2004

Sucrose is the most abundant disaccharide in the environment because of its origin in higher plant tissues, and many Eubacteria possess catalytic enzymes, such as the sucrose-6-phosphate hydrolases… (More)

Characterization, cloning and sequencing of a thermostable endo-(1,3–1,4) β-glucanase-encoding gene from an alkalophilic Bacillus brevis

Maureen E. Louw, Sharon J. Reid, Tahne Watson
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
1993

A Bacillus brevis gene coding for an endo-(1,3–1,4)-β-glucanase was cloned in Escherichia coli and sequenced. The open reading frame contains a sequence of 759 nucleotides encoding a polypeptide of… (More)

Induction of sucrose utilization genes from Bifidobacterium lactis by sucrose and raffinose.

Marla Trindade, V Abratt, Sharon J. Reid
Applied and environmental microbiology
2003

The probiotic organism Bifidobacterium lactis was isolated from a yoghurt starter culture with the aim of analyzing its use of carbohydrates for the development of prebiotics. A sucrose utilization… (More)

Prevalence of gastrointestinal pathogenic bacteria in patients with diarrhoea attending Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa.

Brian Kullin, Rosemary Meggersee, +6 authors V Abratt
South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse…
2015

BACKGROUND Diarrhoea due to gastrointestinal infections is a significant problem facing the South African (SA) healthcare system. Infections can be acquired both from the community and from the… (More)

Oxalate-degrading bacteria of the human gut as probiotics in the management of kidney stone disease.

V Abratt, Sharon J. Reid
Advances in applied microbiology
2010

Humans lack the enzymes needed to metabolize endogenous and dietary oxalate, a toxic compound causing hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate urolithiasis. Oxalate in humans can be eliminated through (1)… (More)

The Bifidobacterium longum NCIMB 702259T ctr gene codes for a novel cholate transporter.

Claire E. Price, Sharon J. Reid, Arnold J. M. Driessen, V Abratt
Applied and environmental microbiology
2006

Preexposure of Bifidobacterium longum NCIMB 702259T to cholate caused increased resistance to cholate, chloramphenicol, and erythromycin. The B. longum ctr gene, encoding a cholate efflux… (More)

Co-regulation of the nitrogen-assimilatory gene cluster in Clostridium saccharobutylicum.

Helen E Stutz, Keith W M Quixley, Lynn D. McMaster, Sharon J. Reid
Microbiology
2007

Nitrogen assimilation is important during solvent production by Clostridium saccharobutylicum NCP262, as acetone and butanol yields are significantly affected by the nitrogen source supplied. Growth… (More)

Microbial solvent formation revisited by comparative genome analysis

Anja Poehlein, Jose Solano, +8 authors Peter Dürre
Biotechnology for biofuels
2017

BACKGROUND Microbial formation of acetone, isopropanol, and butanol is largely restricted to bacteria belonging to the genus Clostridium. This ability has been industrially exploited over the last… (More)
