The genome of Syntrophus aciditrophicus: life at the thermodynamic limit of microbial growth.

abstract：:To understand non-trivial biological functions, it is crucial to develop minimal synthetic models that capture their basic features. Here, we demonstrate a sequence-independent, reversible control of transcription and gene expression using a photosensitive nucleic acid binder (pNAB). By introducing a pNAB whose affini...
