Researchers are puzzling out a central mechanism for how some proteins navigate inside bacterial cells: Rather than using biochemical cues, they appear to rely on the cells' geometry, sensing the ...

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 ...

For a complete understanding of physiological processes in a cell, the integration of tailored approaches addressing different levels of regulation is needed. Therefore Bacillus subtilis, a ...
