I am interested in system-biology study of Streptomyces development. The developmental process of multicellular bacteria contains a high level of complexity, and it is related to various bio-activities. My study focuses on three aspects of this process, morphological differentiation, antibiotic production, and Streptomyces’ response to plant hormone.
