“Bacterial Stress Responses”
Abstract: Prokaryotic bacteria are the oldest and most highly evolved beings on our planet. Due to their relatively small size, they have had to develop numerous mechanisms to survive in a much larger and often times hostile world. Bacteria are often faced with threatening biotic and abiotic stressors that they must either mitigate and/or survive. This seminar will focus on Gram-negative bacteria, and how they navigate host-cell induced stress, temperature stress, and chemical stress. More specifically, ribonucleases, enzymes involved in the maturation and degradation of RNA, and the multiprotein complex, the degradome, will be evaluated for their roles played during bacterial stress responses.
