Microbial Genetics
Overview
The main area of interest in our laboratory is the
analysis of the mechanisms through which the cell senses nutrient
availability and how this information is transmitted to the level of
gene expression. The research focuses on the mechanisms of
transcriptional regulation that govern the expression of genes involved
in carbohydrate utilization and metabolism in the Gram-positive model
organism
Bacillus subtilis.
