The Role of the Single-Cell Environment in Microbial Invasion

这个项目旨在使用单细胞方法来开发单细胞相互作用的定量分析，以促进我们对生态、工业、技术和疾病基础的复杂细菌行为的理解。细菌在地球上无处不在，在营养循环、生物地球化学、致病、共生和生物修复等过程中发挥着关键作用。它们表现出复杂的行为，并不断入侵动物、植物和新的栖息地。这些行为在自然社区中鲜为人知。

This project aims to use a single-cell approach to develop a quantitative analysis of single-cell interactions to advance our understanding of complex bacterial behaviour fundamental to ecology, industry, technology and disease. Bacteria are ubiquitous on Earth and play key roles in nutrient cycles, biogeochemistry, pathogenesis, symbiosis and bioremediation among other processes. They exhibit complex behaviour and continuously invade animals, plants and new habitats. These behaviours are poorly understood in natural communities.
