Trehalose Induces Antagonism towards Pythium debaryanum in Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 17400

Volume 63, no. 11, p. 4340–4345, 1997. Page 4342, column 1, lines 2 to 4. The B. subtilis treA gene is similar to the Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 17400 treA gene and encodes a trehalose-6-phosphate hydrolase, not a trehalase that splits trehalose into two glucose molecules. These treA genes are similar to E. coli treC, which also encodes a trehalose-6-phosphate hydrolase (synonym, phosphotrehalase), which we should have indicated, instead of to E. coli treA, which encodes a true trehalase. The different nomenclature of enzymes involved in trehalose metabolism and breakdown may lead to confusion. The model presented on the basis of the results in the publication is unaffected.
