Funded Activity Summary

Structure and function of novel transporters in alphaproteobacteria. First, detailed knowledge of a set of membrane transporters and the way their activity might be inhibited, will have implications for the treatment of human disease. Second, excellent outcomes are provided for the training of postgraduate students and research staff. This project entails cutting edge technology, and the transfer of technical capabilities not currently available in Australia. Third, our studies on non-pathogenic species of alpha-proteobacteria provides for a timely advance in our knowledge of their biology: other species of alpha-proteobacteria were amongst the first organisms trialled for biological weapons by the USA and the former Soviet Union, and those pathogenic species are rated as Class 3 organisms.
