研究方向 Research Projects
微生物, 特別是只有數千個基因可以使用的細菌, 在面對千變萬化的環境, 居然可以安然渡過這麼長的時間. 它們靠的本領, 一項是自己隨著環境的需要而修正能力的演化能力, 一個是靠其它生物來增加自己存活機會的能力. 然而, 我們到現在還不能"站在"細菌的角度來重新檢視這些問題或機制.
我們覺得下面這些現象很有趣, 正試圖以多種材料來找這些問題在不同系統裡的答案以及共通性
近年我們研究的主題包括下列幾個方向 |
Microbes, especially bacteria and archaea, can achieve so many things with so little genes and surprisingly tiny body. Their views of this world must be very different from ours, but we rarely attempt to understand the world from their perspective. At the same time we want to eliminate them or make use of their great metabolic activities. If you don't understand them, how can you make them to work?
In this lab, we are interested in knowing
