We will provide a comprehensive understanding of molecular machines situated at the surface of bacteria. This ground-breaking research will provide excellent outcomes in the training of research students and staff: this project entails frontier technology, and the transfer of technological capabilities not currently available in Australia. Our study on a non-pathogenic species of bacteria is timely too for National security: related species of bacteria were amongst the first organisms trialed as biological weapons, and the pathogenic species remain rated as Class 3 organisms by the Centers for Disease Control.

我们将对位于细菌表面的分子机提供全面的理解。这项开创性的研究将为研究学生和员工的培训提供出色的成果：该项目需要边境技术，以及澳大利亚目前尚未提供的技术能力的转移。我们对非致病性细菌物种的研究也适合国家安全：相关的细菌物种是被试用为生物武器的第一批生物之一，而致病物种仍被疾病控制中心评为3级生物体。
