NIH/NIGMS awarded a project to study bacterial cell division mechanisms and their role in growth regulation and antibiotic tolerance.
Description
This project addresses the underlying mechanisms and key strategies that bacteria use to regulate growth and proliferation by the highly conserved bacterial cell division pathway. The work involves elucidating interactions among proteins important for division, mechanisms of crosstalk between division and central carbon metabolism, and the role of division proteins in antibiotic tolerance.
