Quenching of lactic acid bacteria

Version 1

SysMO is a European transnational funding and research initiative on "Systems Biology of Microorganisms".

The goal pursued by SysMO was to record and describe the dynamic molecular processes going on in unicellular microorganisms in a comprehensive way and to present these processes in the form of computerized mathematical models.

Systems biology will raise biomedical and biotechnological research to a new quality level and contribute markedly to progress in understanding. Pooling European research ...

Comparative Systems Biology: Lactic Acid Bacteria

Challenge: Comparative analyses, as demonstrated by comparative genomics and bioinformatics, are extremely powerful for (i) transfer of information from (experimentally) well-studied organisms to the other organisms, and (ii) when coupled to functional and phenotypic information, insight in the relative importance of components to the observed differences and simalities. The central principle of this proposal is that important aspects of the functional differences between organisms derive not ...

The two lactic acid bacteria L. lactis and S. pyogenes were studied with respect to the concentration of intracellular metabolites involved in glycolysis in time upon a glucose pulse. Models that describe this behavior are also constructed

S. pyogenes was grown in rich medium, strongly concentrated and glucose-pulsed in a MES buffer. Intracellular metabolite concentration is followed in time.
