Re-defining microbial diversity from its single-celled building blocks
It would be an astonishing experience for an environmental microbiologist of 1985 to be teleported straight into 2015! Few things have remained the same in this dynamic research field, and our understanding of the abundance, diversity and activities of microorganisms on the planet Earth has been thoroughly revamped. Research technologies that were unimaginable in 1985 are producing data of unpr...
متن کاملProtein turnover methods in single-celled organisms: dynamic SILAC.
Early achievements in proteomics were qualitative, typified by the identification of very small quantities of proteins. However, as the subject has developed, there has been a pressure to develop approaches to define the amounts of each protein--whether in a relative or an absolute sense. A further dimension to quantitative proteomics embeds the behavior of each protein in terms of its turnover...
متن کاملMolecular circuits for associative learning in single-celled organisms
We demonstrate how a single-celled organism could undertake associative learning. Although to date only one previous study has found experimental evidence for such learning, there is no reason in principle why it should not occur. We propose a gene regulatory network that is capable of associative learning between any pre-specified set of chemical signals, in a Hebbian manner, within a single c...
متن کاملSalt tolerance at single cell level in giant-celled Characeae
Characean plants provide an excellent experimental system for electrophysiology and physiology due to: (i) very large cell size, (ii) position on phylogenetic tree near the origin of land plants and (iii) continuous spectrum from very salt sensitive to very salt tolerant species. A range of experimental techniques is described, some unique to characean plants. Application of these methods provi...
متن کاملEvolution of Adaptive Behaviour in a Simulated Single-Celled Organism
A model of a single-celled organism comprising two interrelated parts (a genome and metabolism) is presented. The genome encodes operons that specify enzymes for the metabolism. The artiicial metabolism regulates the genome and constructs proteins (among other processes). The structure of operons in our model is governed by a parallel genomic language. Protein construction is accomplished with ...
