Bacteria adapt to changes in their encironment by altering their metabolism, turning on and 08 genes, and moving toward favorable conditions. Recent results indicate that a common molecular logic may underlie the decision-making processes by which these simple cells adj,,t to their surroundings.
The primary (and inactive) enteric metabolite of 5aminosalicylate is N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylate. Previous studies have demonstrated acetylation of this anti-inflammatory agent by intestinal and bacterial homogenates. To assess the contribution of anerobic bacteria to the N-acetylation in vivo, we ha
