The regulation of the AdcR regulon in Streptococcus pneumoniae depends both on Zn2+- and Ni2+ -availability

The regulation of the AdcR regulon in Streptococcus pneumoniae depends both on Zn2+- and Ni2+ -availability

By using a transcriptomic approach, we have elucidated the effect of Ni2+ on the global gene expression of S. pneumoniae D39 by identifying several differentially expressed genes/operons in the presence of a high extracellular concentration of Ni2+. The genes belonging to the AdcR regulon (adcRCBA,...
