UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: From condensates to infection: spatial phase behaviour of aggresomes in pathogenic Escherichia coli

Durham University
BBSRC NEEDL DLA Partnership
How do bacteria reorganise their internal molecular machinery within the complex environments of a biofilm or an infected host? This PhD will investigate remarkable bacterial “aggresomes” – dynamic biomolecular organelle condensates of protein and mRNA that form without surrounding membranes and are associated with stress tolerance, dormancy and antibiotic persistence (PMIDs.
