Location: Produce Safety and Microbiology Research
Project Number: 2030-42000-055-007-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Oct 1, 2021
End Date: Jul 1, 2025
Objective:
To investigate the occurrence of bacterial resistance or adaptation to chlorinated compounds used for chemical intervention.
Approach:
1) Analysis of bacterial next-generation sequencing data generated by the WRRC scientists including all types of genome-Seq and RNA-Seq.
2) Generate models of genetic regulatory networks associated with bacterial response and resistance to chemical interventions.
3) Generate models of bacterial population dynamics in terms of resistance to chemical interventions.
