Funded Activity Summary

The role of central carbon metabolism in cell cycle control in bacteria. Bacteria are simple organisms, yet we still do not understand how they coordinate their growth with their reproduction so faithfully, generation after generation, to produce viable newborn cells. The new discovery of a link between the food bacteria eat and the first stage of their cell division now provides the opportunity to elucidate how bacteria 'measure' their energy production to control their proliferation. This project combines the latest technology with complementary expertise in bacterial cell division and metabolism. This should identify the mechanism that integrates these fundamental pathways in bacteria, crucial to both their survival and ability to cause infection.
