An overview was made to understand the regulation system of a bacterial cell such as
Escherichia coli in response to nutrient limitation such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphate …

Iron is one of the most important metals in the metabolism of many organisms, including
bacteria, in which it serves as a cofactor in multiple enzymatic reactions. Most of the earlier …

The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) plays a critical role in the transcriptional regulation of iron
metabolism. However, the full regulatory potential of Fur remains undefined. Here we …

During ribosomal and transfer RNA maturation, external transcribed spacer (ETS) and
internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences are excised and, as non-functional by-products …

The behavior of genetic circuits is often poorly predictable. A gene's expression level is not
only determined by the intended regulators, but also affected by changes in ribosome …

Small non‐coding RNAs (sRNAs) have important functions as genetic regulators in
prokaryotes. sRNAs act post‐transcriptionally through complementary pairing with target …

The importance of memory in bacterial decision-making is relatively unexplored. We show
here that a prior experience of swarming is remembered when Escherichia coli encounters a …

The bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri initiates a specific, persistent symbiosis in the
light organ of the squid Euprymna scolopes. During the early stages of colonization, V …

Although metabolic networks have been reconstructed on a genome scale, the
corresponding reconstruction and integration of governing transcriptional regulatory …

The function of living cells is controlled by complex regulatory networks that are built of a
wide diversity of interacting molecular components. The sheer size and intricacy of …
