Based on exoproteome analysis, B. pumilus strain Jo2, possessing a high secretion capability, was chosen for an omics-based investigation. The proteome and metabolome of B. pumilus cells growing either in minimal or complex medium was analyzed. In total, 1542 proteins were identified in growing B. pumilus cells, among them 1182 cytosolic proteins, 297 membrane and lipoproteins and 63 secreted proteins. This accounts for about 43\% of the 3616 proteins encoded in the B. pumilus Jo2 genome sequence. By using GC-MS, IP-LC/MS and H NMR methods numerous metabolites were analyzed and assigned to reconstructed metabolic pathways. In the genome sequence a functional secretion system including the components of the Sec- and Tat-secretion machinery was found. Analysis of the exoproteome revealed secretion of about 70 proteins with predicted secretion signals. In addition, selected production-relevant genome features such as restriction modification systems and NRPS clusters of B. pumilus Jo2 are discussed.}, language = {en} } @article{HandtkeSchroeterJuergenetal.2014, author = {Handtke, Stefan and Schroeter, Rebecca and J{\"u}rgen, Britta and Methling, Karen and Schl{\"u}ter, Rabea and Albrecht, Dirk and Hijum, Sacha A.

In this study the response of B. pumilus to oxidative stress was investigated during a treatment with high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide at the proteome, transcriptome and metabolome level. Genes/proteins belonging to regulons, which are known to have important functions in the oxidative stress response of other organisms, were found to be upregulated, such as the Fur, Spx, SOS or CtsR regulon. Strikingly, parts of the fundamental PerR regulon responding to peroxide stress in B. subtilis are not encoded in the B. pumilus genome. Thus, B. pumilus misses the catalase KatA, the DNA-protection protein MrgA or the alkyl hydroperoxide reductase AhpCF. Data of this study suggests that the catalase KatX2 takes over the function of the missing KatA in the oxidative stress response of B. pumilus. The genome-wide expression analysis revealed an induction of bacillithiol (Cys-GlcN-malate, BSH) relevant genes. An analysis of the intracellular metabolites detected high intracellular levels of this protective metabolite, which indicates the importance of bacillithiol in the peroxide stress resistance of B. pumilus.}, language = {en} } @article{GuoMiyamotoWagneretal.2014, author = {Guo, Yuanyuan and Miyamoto, Ko-ichiro and Wagner, Torsten and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Yoshinobu, Tatsuo}, title = {Theoretical study and simulation of light-addressable potentiometric sensors}, series = {Physica status solidi (A) : applications and materials}, volume = {211}, journal = {Physica status solidi (A) : applications and materials}, number = {6}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {0031-8965}, doi = {10.1002/pssa.201330354}, pages = {1467 -- 1472}, year = {2014}, abstract = {The light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) is a semiconductor-based potentiometric sensor using a light probe with an ability of detecting the concentration of biochemical species in a spatially resolved manner. As an important biomedical sensor, research has been conducted to improve its performance, for instance, to realize high-speed measurement. In this work, the idea of facilitating the device-level simulation, instead of using an equivalent-circuit model, is presented for detailed analysis and optimization of the performance of the LAPS. Both carrier distribution and photocurrent response have been simulated to provide new insight into both amplitude-mode and phase-mode operations of the LAPS. Various device parameters can be examined to effectively design and optimize the LAPS structures and setups for enhanced performance.}, language = {en} } @misc{DuweSchlegelTippkoetteretal.2014, author = {Duwe, A. and Schlegel, C. and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils and Ulber, Roland}, title = {Sequentielle Extraktion von Cellulose zur effizienten Nutzung der Stoffstr{\"o}me in der Holzbioraffinerie}, series = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, volume = {86}, journal = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, number = {9}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {0009-286X}, doi = {10.1002/cite.201450308}, pages = {1400}, year = {2014}, abstract = {In der Reihe der nachwachsenden Rohstoffe besitzt Holz als erneuerbare und umweltfreundliche Ressource ein großes Potenzial. {\"U}ber 11 Mio. ha Holz, das laut der Fachagentur f{\"u}r nachwachsende Rohstoffe (FNR) auch f{\"u}r industrielle Zwecke genutzt werden kann, wuchsen im Jahr 2013 allein auf bundesdeutscher Fl{\"a}che. 56,8 Mio. m³ j{\"a}hrlicher Holzeinschlag in den letzten zehn Jahren wurde zu knapp der H{\"a}lfte stofflich und der Rest energetisch verwertet.
