Getting a grip: The molecular mechanisms of Bdellovibrio attachment

Watch Dr. Simon Caulton discusses his team's discovery of a new family of adhesive fibers which he refers to as mosaic adhesive trimers (MATs), and their impact on our understanding of how predatory bacteria bind to its prey.
In this webinar you will:
Learn the significance of mosaic adhesive trimers (MATs) for the predatory bacterium B. bacteriovirus
Hear how the University of Birmingham characterized these MATs using structural and biophysical techniques
Find out why Twist Clonal Genes were chosen to power this research
Discover the significance of this work for understanding how predatory bacteria bind prey cells
