DESCRIPTION:Bacteria live in polymicrobial communities characterized by a 
 great diversity of co-existing species and competition for available resou
 rces. Unearthing the molecular mechanisms that shape microbial communities
  and their dynamics is a significant challenge of the post-genomic era. On
 e bacterial strategy for persisting in a specific niche is the production 
 of toxic extracellular factors that interfere with the growth and/or viabi
 lity of nearby microbes. In this lecture\, I will present the discovery\, 
 biosynthesis\, mode of action\, and potential ecological role of one of th
 ese small molecules: the non-canonical D-amino acids.
LOCATION:Jean Thomas Lecture theatre\, Sanger Building\, Tennis Court Road
