Ok. thanks for your answers so far. this is what I am suppose to explain more detailed: Genetics metabolism and nutrition in microbes are very close related together in a dependent relationship that if you alter one of these processes, you will affect the other ones, you will end up altering them as well. If we altering the nutrients that microbes have access to, you will alter the gene expression that it can do, and then the whole metabolism will go through. And if we alter the metabolism, we may alter the DNA, and this will alter the type of nutrients the bacteria will take in.

Ok, i will try to be more specific. I need to describe how microbes may interact with each other in the environment and how microbial genetics, metabolism and nutrition relate to each other, how microbial energy use can affect human or animal health and how the different types of microbes are used in microbes. I only need to write a short essay about that, not a whole book ;-). I wrote about the importance of genetics/mutations/genetic recombination, the importance of manipulating enzyme productions.

Can someone explain how microbial growth, genetics & nutrition are all related to one another( include gene expression, carbon/oxygen need, ATP production, enzyme use etc). Thank you
