Microbial metabolites are of huge biotechnological potential and their production can be
coupled with detoxification of environmental pollutants and wastewater treatment mediated …

Medicinal honey research is undergoing a substantial renaissance. From a folklore remedy
largely dismissed by mainstream medicine as “alternative”, we now see increased interest …

Synthetic gene circuits are designed to program new biological behaviour, dynamics and
logic control. For all but the simplest synthetic phenotypes, this requires a structured …

Antibiotic-resistant isolates of Salmonella enterica were selected on plates containing lethal
concentrations of rifampicin, kanamycin, and nalidixic acid. The stability of the resistance …

Complex regulatory networks orchestrate most cellular processes in biological systems.
Genes in such networks are subject to expression noise, resulting in isogenic cell …

The understanding of heart rate variability (HRV) has increased parallel with the
development of modern physiology. Discovered probably first in 1847 by Ludwig, clinical …

Contrary to the traditional view that bacterial populations are clonal, single-cell analysis
reveals that phenotypic heterogeneity is common in bacteria. Formation of distinct bacterial …

The operation of the central metabolism is typically assumed to be deterministic, but
dynamics and high connectivity of the metabolic network make it potentially prone to …

Diversity in adaptive responses is common within species and populations, especially when
the heterogeneity of the frequently large populations found in environments is considered …

In Escherichia coli and Salmonella, many genes silenced by the nucleoid structuring protein
H-NS are activated upon inhibiting Rho-dependent transcription termination. This response …
