Abstract

The ability of bacteria to alter their genome sizes and the order of their genes, yet maintain a relatively constant genome, provides a mechanism for diversity and evolution in bacteria. Moreover, bacteria may have evolved by increasing their genome sizes and rearranging gene orders with the assistance of restriction endonucleases cleaving foreign DNA and providing a diverse pool of DNA sequences for genetic recombination. This review examines some of these evolutionary aspects of bacteria including molecular recognition of biomolecules.
