Cooperation with the RTG1708
Dr. Summers visited the RTG1708 in July 2015 and gave a lecture about “Identification and analysis of proteins involved in formation/function of cyanobacterial spores and lipid droplets”.



Research interests

CV
Dr. Summers graduated with a Bachelors degree in biology from Heidelberg College and earned a comprehensive science teaching credential. After teaching science at various positions in public junior high and high schools for 11 years, he entered into a PhD program at UC Davis in the laboratory of Jack Meeks where he used genetic methods to confirm the importance of the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway for dark heterotrophic growth and nitrogen fixation in filamentous cyanobacteria. After graduating in 1995 he did a three-year postdoc at Montana State University with Tim McDermott where he studied phosphate metabolism in rhizobia. Since 1998 Summers has continued his academic career as a microbiologist in the Department of Biology at California State University, located in the greater Los Angeles area.

Cooperation with the RTG1708

Prof. Gralnick visited the RTG in October 2014 and gave a lecture on "Alternative respiratory strategies for microbial survival under anoxic conditions".

Research interests

Prof. Gralnick and his coworkers are interested in bacteria of the global distributed species Shewanella. These bacteria are able to respire not only oxygen but toxic metals like uranium or arsenic, too. Additionally some isolates of Shewanella can grow at very low temperatures. Prof. Gralnick wants to understand the physiology of these bacteria by identifying and characterizing the molecular mechanisms which enable the bacteria to handle such conditions.

Prof. Gralnick published his results in several international accepted journals.
