Enhancing E. coli tolerance towards oxidative stress via engineering its global regulator cAMP Receptor Protein (CRP) by Basak, Souvik, Jiang, Rongrong

“…Genome-wide DNA microarray analysis has shown not only CRP-regulated genes have demonstrated great transcriptional level changes (up to 8.9-fold), but also RpoS- and OxyR-regulated genes (up to 7.7-fold). qRT-PCR data and enzyme activity assay suggested that catalase (katE) could be a major antioxidant enzyme in OM3 instead of alkyl hydroperoxide reductase or superoxide dismutase. …”
