Evidence of circadian rhythms in non-photosynthetic bacteria?
Examples of circadian rhythms have been described in eukaryotic organisms and in photosynthetic bacteria, but direct proof of their existence in other prokaryotes is limited and has been largely ignored. The aim of this article is to review existing evidence and to present preliminary results that suggest that the heterotrophic bacterium Pseudomonas putida shows regular variations in its growth...
متن کاملThe Discovery of Circadian Clocks in Bacteria
At the original Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on Biological Clocks (47 years ago), there was already an appreciation that microbial organisms were capable of circadian rhythmicity. That volume featured papers on circadian rhythms in the microbes Euglena (Bruce 1961), Gonyaulax (Hastings 1961; Sweeney 1961; Sweeney and Hastings 1961), and Paramecium (Ehret 1961). Several of those papers have been...
متن کاملCircadian Clocks Are Resounding in Peripheral Tissues
Circadian rhythms are prevalent in most organisms. Even the smallest disturbances in the orchestration of circadian gene expression patterns among different tissues can result in functional asynchrony, at the organism level, and may to contribute to a wide range of physiologic disorders. It has been reported that as many as 5%-10% of transcribed genes in peripheral tissues follow a circadian ex...
متن کاملCircadian Biology: Clocks within Clocks
A small cluster of approximately 20,000 neurons in the ventral hypothalamus provide the body with key time-keeping signals and drive circadian rhythms. This circadian clock exhibits surprisingly complex substructures, with inputs from the retina, and outputs to other brain structures. Rather little is known of the neurotransmitters involved, or their regulation.
متن کاملCircadian clocks
The biological world is not static: organisms inhabit environments which change predictably over the course of the day and night. There will therefore be selective advantage to any individuals able to anticipate these changes and attune their physiology and behaviour accordingly. Anticipation of daily cycles is conferred by endogenous timers, biological clocks with an intrinsic period of approx...
