Description of the research topic:
The cell proliferation is one of the most fundamental processes of all organisms. Cell division in bacteria is initiated by a ring-like protein structure at midcell. The timing and positioning of the formation of the so-called Z-ring is crucial for cell divisions. Living organisms often have to confront with changing environment and they should adapt to different stress conditions. Bacterial cell morphology and division mechanism may change in response to environmental cues. The question is how the cell division factors control the division process in cyanobacteria, ancestors of plant plastids, under different environmental conditions. It is not known in detail how the lipid composition of membranes affects the division process and the function and interactions of proteins involved in this process. It is also unclear how different environmental and stress conditions influence the cell division processes and how the participating proteins mediate cell division in cyanobacteria under different conditions. To this end, we are to investigate the cell fission and the role of cell division proteins in cyanobacteria under various conditions using molecular biological biophysical and biochemical techniques.
