Sweet and sticky: The role of protein glycosylation in bacteria colonisation and adaptation to the gut (JUGE_Q27DTP)

Quadram Institute Bioscience
Graduate Programme
The accessory secretion (aSec) system is a protein export pathway that is uniquely present in Gram-positive bacteria and is dedicated to the secretion of large, glycosylated cell wall-anchored adhesins called serine-rich repeat proteins (SRRPs). Read more

Evolutionary and Ecological Impact of the Western Lifestyle on the Gut Microbiome (HILDEBRAND_Q27DTP)

Quadram Institute Bioscience
Graduate Programme
The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem shaped by diet, the host and microbial transmission between people. While gut bacterial populations were once thought to be genetically stable, we now know that they can evolve within their hosts over remarkably short timescales. Read more
