The common commensal gut bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron uses phase separation of the transcription termination factor Rho to colonize and thrive in the mammalian gut, according to a new study ...
Scientists at Yale report that they have uncovered a novel mechanism by which “good” bacteria colonize the gut. The microbes that inhabit the gut are critical for human health, and understanding the ...
Transcription termination in Escherichia coli is a finely tuned process that ensures precise regulation of gene expression. It involves both intrinsic and factor-dependent mechanisms. Intrinsic ...
