In recent years, the notion that there is a single mechanism by which antibiotics wipe out bacteria has permeated the field of microbiology. Now, new research from professor Kim Lewis and his team questions that hypothesis.
Manipulating the microbiome
In collaboration with the J. Craig Ventor Institute, biology professor Slava Epstein will study the roles of microbial species in model bacterial communities of Northern Greenland.
Scouting for novel bacteria
Biology professor Slava Epstein proposes a new theory to explain why some bacteria are so hard to grow in the lab.
