Abstract excerpt
The hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus employs a catabolite repression-like regulatory system to control enzymes involved in carbon and energy metabolism. To better understand the basis of this system, spontaneous glycosyl hydrolase mutants were isolated using a genetic screen for mutations, which reduced expression of the lacS gene. The specific activities of three glycosyl hydrolases, including...
