Microbiology
1. Global metabolic switching in Streptomyces coelicolor
Funded by a c€4.5m SysMO grant (Warwick share approx £1.5m, PI: Liz Wellington) to:
-
understand pathway networking in a complex oligotroph where there are clear links between primary and secondary metabolism (antibiotic and other bioactive metabolite production)
-
determine the utilisation networks of phosphate, carbon and nitrogen, from environment monitoring (eg PhoP/PhoR for phosphate), through to their impact on the secondary metabolism profiles, incorporating restructuring of primary metabolism (e.g. catabolism network regulation); and
-
determine the integration and convergence of regulatory pathways.
