Since the discovery of circadian rhythms in cyanobacteria in the late 1980s, the field has exploded with new information. The cyanobacterial model system for studying circadian rhythms, "Synechococcus elongatus", has allowed a detailed genetic dissection of the bacterial clock due to the methods cur
Fitness enhancement based on resonating circadian clocks has recently been demonstrated in cyanobacteria [Ouyang et al. (1998). Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. ;.S.A. 95, 8660}8664]. Thus, the competition between two cyanobacterial strains di!ering by the free-running period (FRP) of their circadian oscillati
