Plant photosynthesis performs the remarkable feat of converting light energy into usable
chemical forms, which involves taming highly reactive intermediates without harming plant …

Elementary mode analysis is a useful metabolic pathway analysis tool to identify the
structure of a metabolic network that links the cellular phenotype to the corresponding …

Plant photosynthesis channels some of the most highly reactive intermediates in biology, in
a way that captures a large fraction of their energy to power the plant. A viable …

Unicellular cyanobacteria have attracted growing attention as potential host organisms for
the production of valuable organic products and provide an ideal model to understand …

Researchers in quantitative systems biology make use of a large number of different
software packages for modelling, analysis, visualization, and general data manipulation. In …

There are several methodologies based on representations of cell metabolism that share
two characteristics: the use of a metabolic network and the assumption of pseudosteady …

Theory and experience in metabolic engineering both show that metabolism operates at the
network level. In plants, this complexity is compounded by a high degree of …

Biologically-derived hydrocarbons are considered to have great potential as next-generation
biofuels owing to the similarity of their chemical properties to contemporary diesel and jet …

Rhizobia are bacteria that exhibit both endophytic and free-living lifestyles. Endophytic
rhizobial strains are widely known to infect leguminous host plants, while some do infect non …

To support their sessile and autotrophic lifestyle higher plants have evolved elaborate
networks of metabolic pathways. Dynamic changes in these metabolic networks are among …
