Deciphering metatranslatomes – the chain link to understand functionality of gut microbiota
Description
Metatranslatomes (i.e. RIBOseq experiments) help understanding the actual translation of bacterial genes. In this project, the translation of bacterial genes in a simplified human intestinal microbiota consortium shall be examined. The RIBOSeq method is used to investigate at first individual species and later several species of the simplified consortium. Of specific interest is the interaction of the bacteria between each other, as well as in connection to different environmental conditions.
