Progress

  • Received E. Coli odourless strain , put in 4C

Vanillin Receptor

Possible receptor is the VirA/VirG system from Agrobacterium, the VirA protein will bind to phenolic compounds and induce transcription of vir genes by phosphorylation of VirG. Protein ChvE results in a broader response to phenolic compounds. Papers:
