Abstract
Three papers describe transcriptomic, metabolic and proteomic analyses of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which has one of the smallest genomes among self-replicating bacteria. These studies reveal a surprising degree of complexity at each level, which is not only informative about life with a reduced genome but also provides insights into the regulation of cellular functions in bacteria.
