The genetic flexibility this hints at-of a core set of genes and a penumbra of others useful in particular circumstances-has, over the past decade, been confirmed for many other species of bacteria.

这个遗传上的弹性暗示了——有一套核心基因和一套用于特殊环境的外围基因——这在过去的十年里已经在其他种属的细菌中得到证实。

Learning how to stop the latter whilst preserving the useful functions of reactive oxygen species should be a major research priority in the next few years.

如何阻止这种情况的发生，同时保持它们对人体的有益作用应该是接下来的几年中人们优先研究的主要问题。

Now, the species he is trying to save is his own, and the insights of a zoologist turn out to be quite useful.

现在，他在努力拯救的物种是他自己，动物学家的见解变得非常有用了。

But it is a useful discovery, because such duplication is also found in species such as maize, and it thus makes Arabidopsis an even better model for other things botanical than researchers had previously thought.
