Webinar: Functional amyloid confer defense against predatory bacteria

Webinar Abstract: bacteriovorus is a predatory bacterium that preys on Gram-negative bacteria. B. bacteriovorus invades the prey-cell periplasm – the space between the inner and outer membrane – leaches host nutrients to replicate, and ultimately lyses the infected cell to exit and find new prey. The infectious life cycle of B. bacteriovorus is, in many ways, comparable to a bacteriophage...
