E. Coli Bacterium Generates Simplicity From Complexity

How E. Coli Bacterium Generates Simplicity From Complexity: "?This study gives a systems biology view of how a phenotype, or a ?network state? advantageous to a microorganism is comprised of a tiny subset of a much larger universe of possibilities as provided for in the genome,? said Palsson. ?On a high level we can say that E. coli is obsessed with how it breathes and whether or not glucose is available to eat. All of its genetic complexity basically enables it to generate a nice steady state for itself regardless of what it has to live on.?"
