Overall, the current state of knowledge suggests that more examples of epigenetic control in bacteria are yet to be discovered and that this could enhance our understanding of virulence strategies in bacteria.MarjanW.van derWoudevan der Woude M (2017) Epigenetic phase variation in bacterial ...
The contribution of new technologies to explore bacterial methylomes and the challenges in identifying actual epigenetic regulation based on that is discussed. Overall, the current state of knowledge suggests that more examples of epigenetic control in bacteria are yet to be discovered and that this ...
we define phase variation as "a process employed by bacteria to generate frequent and reversible changes within specific hypermutable loci, introducing phenotypic diversity into clonal populations”. Not every region detected by PhaseFinder will directly result in phase variation, but the results should...
Compare and contrast antigenic variation and phase variation in bacterial species.Bacteria:The organisms that contain deoxyribonucleic acid in the circular form in the cell where it is not separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane are known as bacteria. Some of these organisms also ...
Members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc), such as B. ambifaria, are effective biocontrol strains, for instance, as plant growth-promoting bacteria; however, Bcc isolates can also cause severe respiratory infections in people suffering from cysti
cholerae, the differen- tially regulated genes related to c-di-GMP synthesis identified in our analysis are likely to be involved in me- diating phenotypic changes that occur with colonial phase variation in this organism. The gene VC1349, which encodes a PAS domain- containing sensor histidine...

In order to adjust for multiple testing, we derived the q values (Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995), which left dps as the sole gene with significant variation (Figure 2C). The same analysis was applied to the data obtained after 96 hr of starvation, and an almost identical pattern was ...
