Characterization of a Growth-stimulatory Protein with Prospective Use in the Repair of Metabolically-Injured Food-Borne Pathogenic Bacteria
Grant
Overview
abstract
When microbial cells are subject to different physical or chemical treatments, many cells suffer metabolic injury resulting in their inability to form colonies on selective media. The project aims to obtain a good understanding, at the biochemical and molecular level, of a protein with a prospect of being used as a repair agent for the metabolically- injured foodborne pathogenic bacteria.
