Both in its varied natural habitats and in industrial settings, B. licheniformis cells will be exposed to increases in the external osmolarity, conditions that trigger water efflux, impair turgor, cause the cessation of growth, and negatively affect the productivity of cell factories in biotechnological processes. We have taken here both systems-wide and targeted physiological approaches to unravel the core of the osmostress responses of B. licheniformis. Cells were suddenly subjected to an osmotic upshift of considerable magnitude (with 1 M NaCl), and their transcriptional profile was then recorded in a time-resolved fashion on a genome-wide scale. A bioinformatics cluster analysis was used to group the osmotically up-regulated genes into categories that are functionally associated with the synthesis and import of osmostress-relieving compounds (compatible solutes), the SigB-controlled general stress response, and genes whose functional annotation suggests that salt stress triggers secondary oxidative stress responses in B. licheniformis. The data set focusing on the transcriptional profile of B. licheniformis was enriched by proteomics aimed at identifying those proteins that were accumulated by the cells through increased biosynthesis in response to osmotic stress. Furthermore, these global approaches were augmented by a set of experiments that addressed the synthesis of the compatible solutes proline and glycine betaine and assessed the growth-enhancing effects of various osmoprotectants. Combined, our data provide a blueprint of the cellular adjustment processes of B. licheniformis to both sudden and sustained osmotic stress.}, language = {en} } @article{VoigtSchroeterJuergenetal.2013, author = {Voigt, Birgit and Schroeter, Rebecca and J{\"u}rgen, Britta and Albrecht, Dirk and Evers, Stefan and Bongaerts, Johannes and Maurer, Karl-Heinz and Schweder, Thomas and Hecker, Michael}, title = {The response of Bacillus licheniformis to heat and ethanol stress and the role of the SigB regulon}, series = {Proteomics}, volume = {Vol. 13}, journal = {Proteomics}, number = {Iss. 14}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1615-9861 (E-Journal); 1615-9853 (Print)}, pages = {2140 -- 2146}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{HandtkeVollandMethlingetal.2014, author = {Handtke, Stefan and Volland, Sonja and Methling, Karen and Albrecht, Dirk and Becher, D{\"o}rte and Nehls, Jenny and Bongaerts, Johannes and Maurer, Karl-Heinz and Lalk, Michael and Liesegang, Heiko and Voigt, Birgit and Daniel, Rolf and Hecker, Michael}, title = {Cell physiology of the biotechnological relevant bacterium Bacillus pumilus - An omics-based approach}, series = {Journal of Biotechnology}, journal = {Journal of Biotechnology}, number = {192(A)}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1873-4863 (E-Journal); 0168-1656 (Print)}, doi = {10.1016/j.jbiotec.2014.08.028}, pages = {204 -- 214}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Members of the species Bacillus pumilus get more and more in focus of the biotechnological industry as potential new production strains. 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{WiegandDietrichHerteletal.2013, author = {Wiegand, Sandra and Dietrich, Sascha and Hertel, Robert and Bongaerts, Johannes and Evers, Stefan and Volland, Sonja and Daniel, Rolf and Liesegang, Heiko}, title = {RNA-Seq of Bacillus licheniformis: active regulatory RNA features expressed within a productive fermentation}, series = {BMC genomics}, volume = {Vol. 14}, journal = {BMC genomics}, publisher = {BioMed Central}, address = {London}, issn = {1471-2164}, pages = {667}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Bronder2020, author = {Bronder, Thomas}, title = {Label-free detection of tuberculosis DNA with capacitive field-effect biosensors}, publisher = {Philipps-Universit{\"a}t Marburg}, address = {Marburg}, doi = {10.17192/z2021.0056}, pages = {X, 162 S}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{DeppeKlatteBongaertsetal.2011, author = {Deppe, Veronika Maria and Klatte, Stephanie and Bongaerts, Johannes and Maurer, Karl-Heinz and O'Connell, Timothy and Meinhardt, Friedhelm}, title = {Genetic control of Amadori product degradation in Bacillus subtilis via regulation of frlBONMD expression by FrlR}, series = {Applied and environmental microbiology}, volume = {Vol. 77}, journal = {Applied and environmental microbiology}, number = {No. 9}, publisher = {American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)}, address = {New York}, issn = {1098-5336 (E-Journal); 0003-6919 (Print); 0099-2240 (Print)}, pages = {2839 -- 2846}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BaeckerKochGeigeretal.2016, author = {B{\"a}cker, Matthias and Koch, C. and Geiger, F. and Eber, F. and Gliemann, H. and Poghossian, Arshak and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {A New Class of Biosensors Based on Tobacco Mosaic Virus and Coat Proteins as Enzyme Nanocarrier}, series = {Procedia Engineering}, volume = {Vol. 168}, booktitle = {Procedia Engineering}, issn = {1877-7058}, doi = {10.1016/j.proeng.2016.11.228}, pages = {618 -- 621}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WuPoghossianWerneretal.2013, author = {Wu, Chunsheng and Poghossian, Arshak and Werner, Frederik and Bronder, Thomas and B{\"a}cker, Matthias and Wang, Ping and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {An application of a scanning light-addressable potentiometric sensor for label-free DNA detection}, series = {11.

Application of 5-fluorouracil based counterselection through establishment of a phosphoribosyltransferase deficient Δupp strain eventually facilitated the marker-free introduction of degU32 leading to further protease enhancement achieving levels as for hypersecreting wild strains in which degU was overexpressed. Surprisingly, deletion of rapG - known to interfere with DegU DNA-binding in B. subtilis - did not enhance protease production neither in the wild type nor in the degU32 strain. The combination of degU32 and Δupp counterselection in the type strain is not only equally effective as in hypersecreting wild strains with respect to protease production but furthermore facilitates genetic strain improvement aiming at biological containment and effectiveness of biotechnological processes.}, language = {en} } @article{MolinnusSorichBartzetal.2016, author = {Molinnus, Denise and Sorich, Maren and Bartz, Alexander and Siegert, Petra and Willenberg, Holger S. and Lisdat, Fred and Poghossian, Arshak and Keusgen, Michael and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Towards an adrenaline biosensor based on substrate recycling amplification in combination with an enzyme logic gate}, series = {Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical}, volume = {237}, journal = {Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0925-4005}, doi = {10.1016/j.snb.2016.06.064}, pages = {190 -- 195}, year = {2016}, abstract = {An amperometric biosensor using a substrate recycling principle was realized for the detection of low adrenaline concentrations (1 nM) by measurements in phosphate buffer and Ringer's solution at pH 6.5 and pH 7.4, respectively.
