• Resumen

  • Understanding and predicting how microbes respond to environmental fluctuations is a central challenge in present-day microbiology. Erickson et al. have proposed a quantitative and (kinetic) parameters-free model of Escherichia coli growth that successfully anticipates changes in gene expression and biomass accumulation in response to nutrients up- and down-shifts.
