How does Bacteroides fragilis adapt to the dynamic environment of the human gut? A newly published review paper by Daniel Ryan (IBB PAS) explores this question. Bacteroides fragilis employs a modular gene-regulatory network strategy to respond to its environment. Rather than relying on global regulators, it coordinates survival via modular switches such as DNA inversions, (…)
