The cyanobacterial circadian system: a clock apart

Curr Opin Microbiol. 1998 Dec;1(6):669-73. doi: 10.1016/s1369-5274(98)80113-6.

Abstract

Several new molecular components of the circadian clocks of animals, fungi, and bacteria have been unveiled in the past two years. Enough parts are now identified to indicate that there is more than one way to build a biological clock, although there are parallels in the cycling molecular events among disparate groups of organisms.
