Design and diversity in bacterial chemotaxis: a comparative study in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis.

Comparable processes in different species often involve homologous genes. One question is whether the network structure, in particular the feedback control structure, is also conserved. The bacterial chemotaxis pathways in E. coli and B. subtilis both regulate the same task, namely, excitation and a...
