Description
Our goal is to visualize IcsP on the surface of S. flexneri and determine how its localization changes during growth versus stationary phases. We hypothesize IcsP will be present on the surface of S. flexneri differentially during growth and stationary phases of cell cycle. We hypothesize greater levels of IcsP seen during stationary phase (simultaneous with lower, more unipolar IcsA, due to IcsP mediated cleavage). During growth phase, we expect less IcsP to be present on the surface, and IcsA to be more evenly distributed around the cell surface.
