11:10 am-12:00 pmSIG block 5 -- The Dirty Little Secrets of Soil Ecology. By: Brian Nowak-Thompson West Science
Several species of soil bacteria produce antibiotic metabolites that affect the disease ecology of fungal-plant interactions. While we know some molecular genetics for the synthesis & transcriptional regulation of these metabolites, we know little about extracellular signaling processes affecting antibiotic production. This talk outlines ecological interactions of P. fluorescens' metabolites and presents a strategy to identify signals affecting production of its antibacterial metabolites.
