Research Agenda
1. What is the growth rate dependence on turgor pressure?2. What determines MreB localization?
What is the growth rate dependence on turgor pressure – varying the turgor pressure
Furchgott 2011
Growth rate dependence on turgor pressure – computational framework
MreB Localization – MreB binds ATP and mutations around the nucleotide binding pocket affect MreB localization and cell shape in Caulobacter
Dye 2011
Using MreB mutants as a perturbation to study localization
