Bacillus subtilis: A model organism From teresaevelyn.stmhost.com (exponentially growing cells usually grow in chains and are non-motile), differentiate into enduring and metabolically inactive spores, or become competent and take up DNA from the environment for acquisition of new genetic material. Most strikingly, it has become clear that many proteins have specific subcellular addresses in bacterial cells. Many vital processes are disturbed if proteins lose their specific localization, but the fundamental question of how proteins are targeted and...

Bionanoscience Initiative Launched by TU Delft From AZoNano.com Furthermore, it is increasingly possible to use the elements of the cell, to the extent that - in a new field called synthetic biology - gene regulation systems, artificial biomolecules and nanoparticles can be developed and applied within the cells. The Faculty of Applied Sciences' new Bionanoscience department will explore the full spectrum from nanoscience to cell biology to synthetic biology, and as such will naturally and strategically complement the activities of the existing...
