| Research Abstract |
Stearyl alcohol induced not only the expression of lipase and infection-related secreted proteins but also the synthesis of PHB in Ralstonia sp. NT80. The secreted protein, EliA, was also induced by stearyl alcohol and facilitated induction of lipase expression. The content of stearyl alcohol in the culture supernatant was reduced by wild-type cells but not by eliA cells. It is most likely that EliA facilitates the induction of lipase expression, by promoting the recognition and/or incorporation of stearyl alcohol.
