A novel bacterial secretion system for applications in nanobiotechnology

这个项目的目的是制造一种新的分子机器，称为S泵。分子机器驱动所有细胞中的复杂生物学，是转化研究的一个令人兴奋的领域，具有广泛的工业应用潜力。该项目预计将提供有关细菌S泵如何促进抗菌素耐药性和提高食品生产的基本见解。预期成果包括发现分子机器的新工具和确定使分子机器适应生物技术应用的方法。这项工作应该通过合作加强澳大利亚与英国的关系，通过更有效的食品生产为纳米生物技术和经济利益提供好处。

This project aims to characterise a new molecular machine, called the S-Pump. Molecular machines drive the complex biology in all cells and are an exciting area of translational research, with broad potential for industrial applications. This project expects to provide fundamental insights into how bacterial S-Pumps contribute to antimicrobial resistance and enhancing food production. Expected outcomes include new tools for molecular machine discovery and identification of ways to adapt molecular machines for biotechnological applications. This work should enhance Australia-UK ties through collaboration, provide benefits toward nanobiotechnology and economic benefits through more efficient food production.
