Brief description We have identified proteins located in bacteria that are responsible for growth and the transport of essential nutrients. We will use a combination of bacterial genetics, protein biochemistry and immunological techniques to fully characterize these proteins. This strategic knowledge has direct implications for vaccine development and National security, since similar species of bacteria were amongst the first biological weapons.
