Research Agenda

1. What is the growth rate dependence on turgor pressure?2. What determines MreB localization?

Page 9: Assembly and Deformation of the Bacterial Cell Wall

What is the growth rate dependence on turgor pressure – varying the turgor pressure

Page 10: Assembly and Deformation of the Bacterial Cell Wall

Furchgott 2011

Growth rate dependence on turgor pressure – computational framework

MreB Localization – MreB binds ATP and mutations around the nucleotide binding pocket affect MreB localization and cell shape in Caulobacter

Dye 2011
