Investigating the roles of polyamines in the predator-prey interactions of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.

This project examines the life and behaviour of the predatory bacterium B. bacteriovorus HD100, focusing on how polyamine systems in either the predator or its prey may affect predatory dynamics. This thesis was inspired by the original work of Varon and colleagues in 1983, revisiting their observat...
