Structured Promoter Variability in Epigenetically Regulated Operons Contributes to Surface Adaptation in Salmonella.

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial adaptation to dynamic and hostile environments often relies on the ability to modify surface structures, which are subjected to strong selective pressures. While mutations in coding sequences that alter surface structures have long been recognised as key drivers of bacterial adaptation, this study reveals structured promoter variation as a novel additional layer of functional adaptation. Focusing on the...
