Understanding the roles of triacylglycerol in modulating mycobacterial growth and biophysical properties

University of Leicester Department of Respiratory Sciences

Mycobacteria contain more lipid than any other bacteria. In addition to a characteristically lipid-rich cell envelope, mycobacteria can accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) as cytoplasmic lipid bodies (LBs). Read more

Eco-evolutionary optimization of synthetic phage therapy

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Background. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacterial cells, use their cellular machinery to assemble new phage virions, and then kill the cell via lysis to release the virions. Read more

Supervisors: Prof M Brockhurst, Prof P Cai, Dr CI Igler

How does the dynamic intra-membrane aggregation of phage lysis proteins kill bacterial pathogens?

The University of Manchester Department of Physics and Astronomy

This is an interdisciplinary project. It will provide a unique opportunity to obtain training in a wide range of interdisciplinary skills, including protein engineering techniques, protein purification, atomic force microscopy, neutron reflection and scattering as well as molecular dynamics simulations.

Optimizing phage-antibiotic-synergies to kill bacterial pathogens

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Phage therapy, the use of viruses that only infect bacterial cells and kill them, is a promising potential solution to the antimicrobial resistance crisis that is threatening modern medicine1. Read more

Identification and characterisation of bacteriocins from environmental samples active against strains of Clostridium difficile.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Clostridiodes difficile is a cause of neonatal enteritis in livestock such as pigs, cattle and horses. Affected animals develop respiratory problems, abdominal distention and bloody diarrhoea leading to weight loss and in extreme cases mortality. Read more
