The Selective Advantage of the lac Operon for Escherichia coli Is Conditional on Diet and Microbiota Composition
The lac operon is one of the best known gene regulatory circuits and constitutes a landmark example of how bacteria tune their metabolism to nutritional conditions. It is nearly ubiquitous in Escherichia coli strains justifying the use of its phenotype, the ability to consume lactose, for species id...
