Flow Cytometer

The project aims to establish individual microbial impact on virulence and antimicro-bial resistance of intricate mixed communities. Metabolism is key to these interac-tions, yet the way microbes acquire and utilise nutrients is often overlooked in evolutionary studies of pathogenicity, virulence and antibiotic resistance. We will address this by quantifying how microbial community composition is determined by the metabolism, genetics and physiology of individual players. We require a flow cytometer as a means of q...
