Regulation of xylanolytic enzymes in Bacillus subtilis Lindner, Cordula and Stülke, Jörg and Hecker, Michael,, 140, 753-757 (1994), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00221287-140-4-753, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1350-0872, abstract= The synthesis of the xylanolytic enzymes β-xylanase and β-xylosidase of Bacillus subtilis was studied. In contrast to many catabolic extracellular enzymes, β-xylanase was synthesized constitutively during exponential growth and was not repressed by glucose. β-Xylosidase synthesis was induced 100-fold by xylose and repressed 100-fold by glucose. Carbon catabolite repression was abolished in a ccpA mutant. Titration experiments using a multicopy operator sequence respondible for carbon catabolite repression indicated that the gene encoding β-xylosidase is part of the same carbon catabolite repression regulon as the amyE and bgIS genes., language=, type=
