Publisher's Synopsis
This up-to-date guide focuses on the understanding of key regulatory mechanisms governing gene expression in Escherichia coli. Studies of E. coli not only provide the first models of gene regulation, but research continues to yield different control mechanisms.;As complete genomic DNA sequences of bacteria become available, this volume should serve as a useful guide to the development of experimental strategies for those seeking to explore aspects of gene regulation in diverse bacterial species or to identify new antibiotic targets.;This book should be of interest to researchers in genetics, gene regulation and antibiotics, and teachers/advanced students in the prokaryotic field.
