Bacteria is complicated stuff, don’t you just know …

At www.physorg.com/print198148074.html we learn that bacteria is proving to be more complex than scientists have thought previously – just another surprise nature has sprung on the considered opinion of a scientific discipline. A paper in Molecular Microbiology describes an example of that complexity as a molecular reaction inside the cell involving proteins. It modifies and thuse affects the function of those proteins – including the mechanism responsible for turning genes on and off.
