Please join us tomorrow, Tuesday Dec 13th, at 11am for Dr. Martin Ackermann's seminar in the AHF Torrey Webb Room. Below is a link to his website as well as an abstract for his seminar tomorrow.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Abstract: How microbial diversity shapes the
dynamics and processes in microbial communities is a fundamental question in
microbial ecology. While the focus of such research is typically on biological
diversity that results from genetic differences between strains and species,
functional diversity can also arise in clonal groups, through phenotypic
differences between individuals. My presentation will focus on this microbial
individuality, that is, diversity at the level of single cells. Using examples
from bacterial genetic model systems, I will discuss how microbial
individuality can promote interactions within and between populations, allow
microbes to cope with dynamic environments, and give clonal groups of bacteria
new biological properties. Then I will discuss how one can test these
laboratory-derived concepts in natural environments, and ask whether and how
microbial individuality is an important driver of the dynamics of natural
microbial communities.
