The gut microbiota typically acquires these metals through the host diet but must be able to adapt to dietary fluctuations. Many studies link changes in available metal nutrients to alterations in bacterial colonization, pathogen resistance, and gut microbiota community composition but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our research program revolves around elucidating fundamental molecular mechanisms by which metals affect the microbiota. This talk will focus on our efforts to develop metal ion biosensors for illuminating metals within complex bacterial communities. We are investigating a series of cofactor-based fluorescent proteins that emit wavelengths ranging from green to the near-infrared and which, unlike green fluorescent proteins and their variants, do not rely on oxygen. I will cover how our group is re-engineering these proteins to develop novel sensors for zinc and copper. Application of these sensors to live bacteria and opportunities for their use in gut microbiota models will be discussed. I will also present our progress investigating how metal ions affect growth and cell interactions of the Lactobacillaceae family of bacteria, which are crucial members of the gut microbiota.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"121988-21847899@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/121988", "building_id":"1000158", "building_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "campus_maps_id":"34", "room":"1640", "location_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Inorganic Chemistry","Chemistry"], "website":"https:\/\/uh.edu\/nsm\/chemistry\/people\/profiles\/melissa-zastrow\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Chemistry", "group_id":"3761", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/chem" }, { "group_name":"Inorganic Chemistry", "group_id":"4387", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21847899 } , "124725-21853673": { "datetime_modified":"20241001T102123", "datetime_start":"20241001T160000", "datetime_end":"20241001T173000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-10-01", "date_end":"2024-10-01", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Nam Center Colloquium Series | The Postdevelopmental State: Dilemmas of Economic Democratization in Contemporary South Korea", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Nam Center Colloquium Series | The Postdevelopmental State: Dilemmas of Economic Democratization in Contemporary South Korea: Jamie Doucette, Reader in Human Geography, University of Manchester", "event_subtitle":"Jamie Doucette, Reader in Human Geography, University of Manchester", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Attend in person or via Zoom: https:\/\/myumi.ch\/5y5kg\r\n\r\nOver the last 25 years, South Korea has witnessed growing inequality through non-standard employment, mushrooming real estate prices, and the growth of its super-conglomerates. That this expansion has taken place amid declining rates of economic growth and turbulent political events marks a departure from Korea\u2019s past recognition as a high growth \u2018developmental state.\u2019 This presentation insists that to understand the challenges associated with this transformation what is needed is nothing less than a revision of the very standpoint of developmental state research itself. To do so, it foregrounds the progressive project of \u2018economic democratization\u2019 to shift inquiry from elite bureaucracies and rapid GDP growth to the dynamics of historical blocs and the contours of socio-economic inequality. The lecture examines how despite the embrace of this project by successive liberal administrations, and appropriation by moderate conservatives, it has met with frustration. It is aregued that the causes of such can be seen through three interlinked phenomena: a narrowing vision of what constitutes economic democracy, the ambiguous space accorded to workers within it, and a problematic \u2018politics of personality\u2019 that has been used to pursue legitimacy in lieu of effective alliance-building and substantive policy change.\r\n \r\n Dr. Jamie Doucette is Reader in Human Geography at the University of Manchester. His research interests include the geographical political economy of development and democratization in East Asia, the construction of urban and economic expertise, labour geographies, and the politics of special economic zones. His articles have appeared in journals such as Progress in Human Geography, Urban Geography, Transactions of the RGS- IBG, Political Geography, Journal of Asian Studies, and Critical Asian Studies, among others. This talk is based on his recent monograph The Postdevelopmental State: Dilemmas of Economic Democratization in Contemporary South Korea (University of Michigan Press, 2024). He is the editor, with Bae-gyoon Park, of Developmentalist Cities? Interrogating Urban Developmentalism in East Asia (Brill\/Haymarket 2019).\r\n\r\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu.
