<p>In this class, students engage in independent research projects to probe various aspects of the physiology of the bacterium <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> PA14, an opportunistic pathogen isolated from the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. Students use molecular genetics to examine survival in stationary phase, antibiotic resistance, phase variation, toxin production, and secondary metabolite production.</p> <p>Projects aim to discover the molecular basis for these processes using both…
