The interplay of metabolism and structure in microbial communities
Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar
LARS DIETRICH, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
Studies of signaling cascades can reveal important mechanisms driving multicellular development, but the models that emerge often lack critical links to environmental cues and metabolites. Dr. Dietrich's group studies the effects of extra- and intracellular chemistry on biofilm morphogenesis in the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which produces oxidizing pigments called phenazines.
