Regulation of Bacteroides chondroitin sulfate utilization genes
Regulation of genes is probably important for survival of anaerobic bacteria that constitute the majority of bacteria in the human colon. Until recently, it was not possible to investigate regulation at the molecular level. I have completed the first such study using the chondroitin sulfate utilization (csu) system in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron as the model system to study regulation.
