Summary Introduction

To explain: The use of induction and repression in prokaryotes to respond to changing nutrient supplies.

The positive control mechanism involves positive regulators or activators to turn on the operon. In contrast, the negative control mechanism involves negative regulators or repressors to shut down the operon.
