Roles for quorum sensing and biofilm formation by Vibrio cholerae in resistance to protozoan grazing

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research will benefit Australia through an increased fundamental understanding of how our model bacterium, Vibrio cholerae, survives in the environment. This could lead to the development of strategies that control bacterial biofilms, a significant medical and industrial concern. This project will also be of benefit through the training of postgraduate students in environmental microbiology and is expected to result in the publication and presentation of data in quality journals and conferences, which increases the profile of Australian science.
