It is also in the context of communities that bacteria undergo a process of adaptation to cope with changing environmental conditions. To defend their niche and guarantee access to limited resources, bacteria can employ toxin delivery pathways that target competing cells. Through the study of bacterial toxins and their long-term physiological effects, the de Moraes Lab aims to elucidate how interactions shape microbial communities assembly, composition, and evolution. Moreover, the de Moraes lab is interested in harnessing the potential of bacterial toxins for biotechnological applications.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia Junior Faculty Network  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Assistant Professor BioSciences Rice University
