This thesis contains some works about the codon bias and its role in bacteria and phages, particularly about regulation of translation and chromosome organization in bacteria. After an introduction describing i) translation processes in prokaryotes, and ii) bases of classification and information theories, a new clustering algorithm designed to classify a set of genes according to their codon usage is presented. Its application to the genomes of E.coli and B. subtilis puts forward multiple phenomena. Their genomes are respectively composed of 4 and 5 groups of genes sharing the same codon usage. The genes of the same group tend to have similar function, and are organized in coherent domains 10 to 15 genes long on the chromosome. This non-tr...
