Quantitative approaches to the analysis of the control and regulation of microbial metabolism
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek.
1991 Oct-Nov.
Abstract
Recently, a number of novel ways of considering the control, regulation and thermodynamics of microbial physiology have been developed and applied. We here present an overview of the new concepts involved, of their limitations and of the most recent attempts to deal with those limitations. We conclude that there no longer exist reasons of principle for vagueness in discussions of the control of microbial physiology and energetics. Further, the novel conceptual methods serve to remove part of the discordance between holistic and reductionistic views of microbial physiology.
