Dynamic mechanism of phase variation in bacteria based on multistable gene regulatory networks.

Abstract excerpt

Phase variation, which causes splitting the homogeneous bacterial population into subpopulations of the cells with different and reversible activity of the same variable genes, provide bacteria with wide opportunities to implement their adaptation strategies. Meanwhile, the gene networks perform integral regulation of the genome and control over the formation of phenotypic traits of the organism. Mechanisms of...
