Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Lydia Katsini"
Lydia Katsini's recent research focuses on the impact of environmental stress factors, specifically temperature and carbon dioxide levels, on the growth kinetics of Escherichia coli, a model organism in microbiology.
The study highlights the potential risks associated with rising global temperatures and carbon dioxide concentrations, examining how these climatic changes can influence the survival and proliferation of stress-adapted bacteria.
Using advanced kinetic assays with a microplate reader and spectrofluorometer, Katsini quantifies the growth rates of a genetically modified Escherichia coli strain, providing insights into bacterial adaptation mechanisms in response to environmental stress.
