Growth condition-dependent differences in methylation imply transiently differentiated DNA methylation states in <i>Escherichia coli</i>
AbstractDNA methylation in bacteria frequently serves as a simple immune system, allowing recognition of DNA from foreign sources, such as phages or selfish genetic elements. However, DNA methylation also affects other cell phenotypes in a heritable manner (i.e. epigenetically). Whil...
