RUI: Determination and Functional Analysis of the Cyanobacterial Lipid Droplet Proteome

Cyanobacteria are amongst the few bacterial species that form the internal structures known as lipid droplets, which are of interest to the biotechnology industry. These droplets could supply material for food, fuel and the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. These droplets increase in the cell when growth slows, but almost nothing is known about their associated proteins, how they are formed, or their phy...
