Stress response regulation to extracellular polymeric substances biosynthesis in Bacillus licheniformis

This work combines stress induction strategies and global transcription machinery engineering for investigating the coordinated synthesis of various types of extracellular polymeric substances, which has not been explored before. The insights gained from our research contribute to a deeper understanding of the regulatory networks governing the competition between γ-PGA and EPS, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the engineered modification of Bacillus licheniformis aimed at optimizing the production of extracellular polymeric substances.
