PhD subject : "Carbon sources management in bacteria Bacillus subtilis"
This project is model driven. We experimentally validated a regulation model of central carbon catabolism pathway of Bacillus subtilis. The model has been established first by mathematicians.
The validation is made by key enzyme purification and characterisation. Hypotesis suggested by the model are checked by Live Cell Array experiments.
KEY WORDS : Bacillus subtilis, glycolysis, neoglucogenesis, central carbon catabolism pathway, protein purification, enzymatics assays, Live Cell Array.
