Based on Genomics, functional genomics and comparative genomics information, special metabolic processes of microorganisms and the related genetic and biochemical/physiological molecular mechanisms of regulation under different environmental conditions are systematically studied. Metabolic regulation models are being developed based on the knowledge of characterizing signal transduction systems and transcription factors with respect to gene transcription, protein structure and function modification and interaction, as well as the biological small molecules.
