Dr. Michiel Vos fera une conférence sur le thème

‘Natural variation in the social bacterium Myxococcus xanthus’

le Jeudi 9 mars 2017 à 14h00 à la Faculté des Sciences à Nancy – Amphi 7

The soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus is best known for its ability to build multicellular fruiting bodies. This form of social development has been shown to be prone to ‘cheating’ behaviour by asocial clones. Previous work has mainly been based on laboratory strains. In this talk, I will describe work on the genetic, phenotypic and behavioural diversity of natural populations of this fascinating species.

Cette conférence à l’invitation du laboratoire DynAMic s’inscrit dans le cadre du Master BioMANE et est soutenue par le Labex ARBRE
