Capturing microbial diversity by single-cell phenotyping to identify governing principles of subcellular organization and unicellular proliferation KU Leuven
Modern metagenomics has opened our eyes to the immense microbial diversity that exists both among and within us. Despite this diversity, all microbes share a similar challenge, and that is to survive and proliferate in order to subsist in their respective environments. To achieve this, these unicellular organisms must integrate a large variety of processes in tiny compartments. Microbes need to take up and metabolize nutrients to generate ...
