This study identifies PepA as a regulator of nhaB gene expression in Vibrio cholerae, revealing its role in Na+ homeostasis through suppressor mutations in a nhaA nqr mutant.

This study identifies a non-canonical fumarate-based ammonium assimilation pathway in B. subtilis that compensates for glutamate and aspartate biosynthesis defects.

This paper identifies RfaA as a regulator of fatty acid synthesis in Bacillus subtilis that targets AccC for degradation in the absence of glutamate, preventing fatty acid toxicity.

This paper identifies asparagine transporters in Bacillus subtilis using genetic screens and toxic analogs, revealing promiscuous importers and exporters for L-asparagine.
