Interests
Current interests are in multiple aspects of the cell and molecular biology of cyanobacteria, including membrane biogenesis, the biogenesis of the photosynthetic apparatus, motility, behaviour and biological interactions, cell communication in filamentous cyanobacteria. Much of our work is centred on the use of fluorescence microscopy to probe the organisation and dynamics of cyanobacterial cells. In addition, I am an editor of the Journal of Bacteriology.Publications
