Abstract Many organisms have circadian clocks that anticipate the risks and benefits of the predictable 24 h solar cycle. However, the potential functions of circadian clocks in non-photosynthetic bacteria are poorly understood. Here, we show that the Bacillus subtilis circadian clock regulates colony expansion, in concert with key developmental and differentiation pathways that are central to its life cycle. The B.

Circadian clocks: It’s time for chronobiology

|
By Martha Merrow
| PLOS Biology Verified
This article is part of the PLOS Biology 20th Anniversary Collection. In almost every paper I write and every talk I give, I emphasize, right at the beginning, the pervasiveness of the circadian clock. I do this as a challenge to the imagination: “pervasive” is vague enough to make most people wonder, “in what sense or dimension?” And the answer here is, “in almost any dimension you can imagine.” How can this be? Circadian clocks are molecular machines that organize daily timing.

Reduced glucose concentration enhances ultradian rhythms in Pdcd5 promoter activity in vitro

By van der Veen, Martha Merrow, Thomas Dickmeis, David Lloyd
| Frontiers
1 Introduction Ultradian rhythms are rapidly cycling biological rhythms, which are expressed with periods ranging from milliseconds to hours in physiology and behaviour in a plethora of species, extending from yeast to humans. Ultradian rhythms are often co-expressed with circadian (∼24 h) rhythms, which was first reported by Szymansky when looking at behavioural activity patterns in a range of species (Szymanski, 1920).
