Every mammal on the planet is colonized with E. coli (1), as well as cold‐blooded animals
(eg, fish) at an appropriately warm temperature (2). We estimate there are 1021 E. coli cells …

Bacterial genomes are transcribed by DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNAP), which
achieves gene selectivity through interaction with sigma factors that recognize promoters …

Cellular RNA polymerase is a multi-subunit macromolecular assembly responsible for gene
transcription, a highly regulated process conserved from bacteria to humans. In bacteria …

The rates of foodborne disease caused by gastrointestinal pathogens continue to be a
