The importance of molecular clocks in living beings is evident in their widespread occurrence across diverse taxa, including bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals.
In the context of my research, understanding the molecular clock systems in non-photosynthetic bacteria can provide insights into how these organisms adapt to changes in their environment and maintain their internal rhythms. This knowledge can help us design new approaches for controlling bacterial growth and survival, which may have important applications in medicine, industry, and agriculture.
Overall, the study of molecular clocks is crucial to our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of biological timing and has broad implications for many areas of research.
