This project investigates the interactions between bacteria, bacteriophages, and protozoan predators to understand bacterial defense mechanisms. By developing a high-throughput assay, it aims to reveal how prophages can enhance bacterial survival against predation, thereby influencing microbial ecosystems.
Bacteria are the backbone of natural communities. A single gram of soil may contain up to 10 billion cells.
Two types of bacterial predators are also abundant: protozoa, single-celled eukaryotes that phagocytize bacteria, and bacteriophages (phages), viruses that only infect bacteria.
Each day, up to 20% of the global bacterial population is killed by these two predators.
This puts pressure on bacteria to adapt defense strategies, but also on each predator to out-compete the other.
However, the…
