How bacteria respond so quickly to external changes
Understanding how bacteria adapt so quickly to changes in their
external environment with continued high growth rates is one of
the major research challenges in molecular microbiology. This is
important not least for our understanding of resistance to
antibiotics. A research study from Uppsala University is now
presenting a model of how bacteria can rapidly adapt to
environmental changes through smart regulation of their gene
expression.  High-octane bacteria could help at the pump
