Bacteria adapt readily to many different nutritional environments by altering gene expression in accordance with the availability of particular nutrients. Each metabolic gene or operon is regulated by ...

Recent advances in genome engineering have further widened the gap between our ability to implement essentially any genetic change and understanding the impact of these changes on cellular function.

Bacteria make up more than 10% of all living things but until recently we had little realization that, as in humans, soil bacteria have internal clocks that synchronize their activities with the ...
