We use the easy genetic system of a  soil bacterium, Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1, to study diverse aspects of gene expression and chromosomal rearrangements. This research has implications for medical issues (gene amplification), environmental issues (bioremediation), biotechnology/bioenergy (conversion of lignin to biofuels), and evolution (new methods for experimental evolution).
