- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $461,575 to Earlham College supports research to investigate how a bacterial enzyme, ProXP-X, recognizes and binds to both L- and D-amino acids, which is critical for protecting bacterial cells from the toxicity of D-amino acids. The project aims to characterize the mechanisms by which ProXP-X identifies and binds its targets, and determine if its activity prevents D-amino acid toxicity in living...
- This $309,797 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a two-pronged research effort to study the emergence of long-range coherence in motile microorganismal systems with quenched disorder. The first component involves experimental studies of bacteria, amoeba, and bladder cancer cells in disordered environments to understand how self-propelled motion leads to large-scale collective behavior. The...
- This federal Project Grant award of $1,000,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) was provided to The Trustees of Princeton University to study "Quorum Sensing Across Scales and Between Domains". The project aims to investigate bacterial communication processes, known as quorum sensing, to better understand how bacteria can synchronize behavior and potentially control harmful pathogens or promote beneficial bacteria. Key objectives...
