- Bacterial gene expression involves transcription and translation
- Operons are groups of genes that can be turned on or off
- Inducible operons are usually off but can be induced, while repressible operons are usually on but can be repressed
- Allosteric regulation in gene expression involves activators and inhibitors
- The trp operon is repressible, while the lac operon is inducible
- Understanding gene expression in bacteria is crucial for understanding how bacteria adapt to their surroundings.
