Bacterial circadian rhythms

The article on bacterial circadian rythms conveys the message eloquently by using reliable sources of information. The article starts with a historical fact which is correctly cited and then relates it to the concept on bacterial circadian rhythms to engage the reader by giving historical relevance. When specific facts regarding bacterial species are presented the article appropriately cited after the fact. The content material of the article is at all times relevant to the topic, however, in the paragraph related to adaptive significance, the last sentence gives an opinionated outlook on the adaptive significance. The article overall is strictly neutral, presenting mostly relevant facts that agree with each subtopic but there is some bias when discussing the significance of bacterial circadian rhythms since the last claim is not backed up by scientific data. The information is all cited and the references can be found at the bottom of the article. There appears to be no bias in the sources. No viewpoints seem to be underrepresented but it could be improved if more sources could be found for some subtopics that need more factual information. All the citations appear to be working correctly. There seems to be no direct paraphrasing or signs of plagiarism. More information on gene regulation needs to be added, since novel mechanisms for gene expression have been elucidated and the article states that these are still unknown. No current conversations are being held on the topic.
