Abstract
The recent development of light microscopic methods for detecting the localisation of proteins in individual bacterial cells has dramatically altered our view of their sub-cellular organisation. This lab has made important contributions to the development and application of these methods. We now wish to further develop these methods and use them to determine the sub-cellular localisation of various B. subtilis proteins of central importance to bacterial structure and function. Functions to be examined in detail include ones responsible for chromosome replication, cell envelope synthesis and determination of cell shape, as well as proteins encoded by newly discovered genes that are essential for cell viability.
