Biophysics Seminar: Kranthi Kiran Mandadapu, University of California Berkeley: On the role of motility and glassy dynamics in growth of bacterial monolayers into the third dimension| Zoom Mon, Nov 23, 2020, 12:15 pm – 12:15 pm Many mature bacterial colonies and biofilms are complex three-dimensional (3D) structures. A key step in their developmental program is a transition from a two-dimensional (2D) monolayer into a 3D architecture. Despite the importance of controlling the growth of microbial colonies and biofilms in a variety of medical and industrial settings,… Speaker Affiliation University of California Berkeley A free lecture open to the public. Biophysics Seminar: Seppe Kuehn, University of Chicago| A sparse mapping from structure to function in microbial communities|Zoom Mon, Nov 16, 2020, 12:15 pm – 12:15 pm The metabolic function of microbial communities emerges through a complex hierarchy of genome-encoded processes, from gene expression to interactions between diverse taxa. Therefore, a central challenge for microbial ecology is deciphering how genomic structure determines metabolic function in communities. Here we show, for the process of… Speaker Affiliation University of Illinois A free lecture open to the public. Biophysics Seminar: Allan Drummond, University of Chicago: Rethinking the cellular response to heat shock, from biophysics to physiology| Zoom Mon, Oct 26, 2020, 12:15 pm – 12:15 pm Cells across the tree of life respond to a sudden, nonlethal rise in temperature--heat shock--in similar ways. Following heat shock, proteins and mRNAs form clumps, certain genes turn on, and protein synthesis and cell growth sharply decline. The standard interpretation of these long-studied phenomena has held that thermal energy causes… Speaker Affiliation University of Chicago A free lecture open to the public. Biophysics Seminar: Stefano Allesina, University of Chicago: Predicting coexistence in experimental ecological communities| Zoom Mon, Oct 19, 2020, 12:15 pm – 12:15 pm When experimenting with a large pool of species, a common problem is to determine a priori whether a certain subset of species can coexist when co-cultured. We propose a simple statistical model in which a number of species assemblages are observed, and the coexistence of novel assemblages is predicted out-of-fit. We discuss how this problem… Speaker Affiliation University of Chicago A free lecture open to the public. Biophysics Seminar: Gurol Suel, University of California San Diego| The role of inorganic ions in bacterial resilience Mon, Sep 28, 2020, 12:15 pm – 12:15 pm We have been working to measure and understand how ion fluxes and ionic interactions regulate fundamental biological processes, and in particular promote stress tolerance in bacteria. I will present our recent work that builds on our discovery of action potentials generated within bacterial biofilms. Specifically, we showed that bacteria use… Speaker Affiliation University of California San Diego A free lecture open to the public.
