The marine alphaproteobacterium Phaeobacter inhibens DSM 17395, a member of the Roseobacter group, was recently shown to markedly enhance growth upon deletion of its 262-kb chromid encod
Temperature is a primary driver of microbial community composition and taxonomic diversity; however, it is unclear to what extent temperature affects characteristics of central carbon metabolic pathwa
New experimental results on bacterial growth inspire a novel top-down approach to study cell metabolism, combining mass balance and proteomic constraints to extend and complement Flux Balance Analysis
