No membrane, no problem: Condensing bacterial organelles

Speaker: Stephanie Weber, Department of Biology, McGill University, Canada
Chair: Maria Flocco, AstraZeneca, UK
Co-Chair: David Rueda, Imperial College London

Steph’s work investigates the presence of phase separated organelles in bacteria, focusing on the location of RNA polymerase during the growth cycle. She overcame the challenges of molecule tracking in relatively small cells by taking advantage of fluorescence photoconversion to limit the observation to single molecules. Consequently, she was able to map the dynamics of the RNA polymerase binding to DNA and in and out of phase-separated droplets in vivo.
