This project focuses on understanding the growth mechanisms of cell-wall deficient derivatives of Bacillus subtilis, known as L-forms. By identifying specific genes involved in their unique proliferation process, the research aims to enhance knowledge of these bacteria, which have clinical relevance and may reveal new…
The main objective of the project will be to characterize the molecular cell biology of proliferation in cell-wall deficient (L-form) derivatives of Bacillus. subtilis. L-forms can apparently arise from a wide range of bacteria and are often found in clinical situations.
Recent work in the Errington lab has provided a highly tractable model system for studying the L-form state. B. subtilis L-forms proliferate via a remarkable membrane extrusion and resolution mechanism.
The aim of the project is…
