Post-Transcriptional Control of Multicellularity in Bacillus subtilis
(2016-05-13)
Bacteria are capable of sensing changes in their environment and responding to those changes by altering patterns of gene expression. There are many mechanisms by which bacteria can sense internal and external signals. The ...
Investigation of the Mechanism That Powers DNA Translocation During Bacterial Natural Transformation
(2016-07-26)
If deoxyribonucleic acids are the building blocks of life, perhaps the proteins that move, shape, and assemble nucleic acids should be called architects. These proteins come in every size and shape and have vastly different ...
On Clocks and Tuners: Cyanobacterial Strategies to Thrive in a Dynamic Environment
(2018-01-05)
The cycle of day and night is among the most recurrent and predictable environmental changes. In order to thrive, organisms across all domains of life evolved regulatory strategies to respond to diurnal fluctuations in ...
Circadian Clocks in the Real World: Effects of Dynamic Light Regimes on the Regulation of Circadian Gene Expression in Cyanobacteria
(2017-09-13)
Organisms use internal oscillators to control their physiology in conjunction with the predictable environmental changes of the day/night cycle. However, it is not always clear how internal timing information is used by ...
Flagellar Biosynthesis in E.coli Is Regulated by a Cascade of Stochastic Pulses
(2017-01-20)
Genetically identical populations of bacteria can exhibit significant phenotypic heterogeneity even in the absence of environmental variations. In bacteria such as Bacillus and Salmonella, flagellar motility has been found ...
