To survive and to propagate successfully unicellular organisms require a very high degree of metabolic flexibility combined with sophisticated regulation. This book contains critical reviews written by the leading research scientists in this topical field. The authors explore regulatory networks in a wide range of prokaryotes including organisms that have only recently been investigated at the molecular level. The book describes new regulatory networks, discusses variations of common themes, and provides fresh insight into well-studied mechanisms. Essential reading for all scientists involved in the study of regulation and regulatory networks.
