The ability of microorganisms to withstand long periods with extremely low energy input has
gained increasing scientific attention in recent years. Starvation experiments in the …

Phytoremediation is a cost-effective green alternative to traditional soil remediation
technologies, but has experienced varied success in practice. The recent omics revolution …

Microbes maintain themselves through a variety of processes. Several of these processes
can be reduced or shut down entirely when resource availability declines. In pure culture …

Bacteria have a remarkable ability to sense environmental changes, swiftly regulating their
transcriptional and posttranscriptional machinery as a response. Under conditions that …

Changing mRNA stability is a major post-transcriptional way of controlling gene expression,
particularly in newly encountered conditions. As the concentration of mRNA is the result of …

Overflow metabolism is a common phenomenon observed at higher glycolytic flux in many
bacteria, yeast (known as Crabtree effect), and mammalian cells including cancer cells …

During the past two decades, there has been an explosion of new knowledge and
techniques in the field of recombinant protein expression. However, over-expression of …

Bacterial transcripts each have a characteristic half-life, suggesting that the processes of
RNA degradation work in an active and selective manner. Moreover, the processes are well …

Contrary to previous understanding, recent evidence indicates that synonymous codon
changes may sometimes face strong selection. However, it remains difficult to generalize the …

Microorganisms extensively reorganize gene expression to adjust growth rate to changes in
growth conditions. At the genomic scale, we measured the contribution of both transcription …
