Induction of a futile Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway in Deinococcus radiodurans by Mn: possible role of the pentose phosphate pathway in cell survival
Article Abstract:
Manganese may increase the sensitivity of Deinococcus radiodurans to radiation by inducing the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway for glucose metabolism. Mn-exposed cells incorporated less glucose into DNA when exposed to UV light and were also more sensitive to UV light.

Characterization of the minimal replicon of a cryptic Deinococcus radiodurans SARK plasmid and development of a versatile Escherichia coli-D: radiodurans shuttle vectors
Article Abstract:
Results indicate that a minimal replicon of 2.6 kilobase is capable of auonomous replication in Deinococcus radiodurans. Data also show that the replion can be used to construct a shuttle vector for shuttling between Escherichia coli and D. radiodurans and to express lacZ reporter gene by fusing it to promoters.
