    Biophysical Studies of the Effect of MreB Mutants on Cell Stiffness in Escherischa Coli Master Thesis in Nanosciences Benjamin Banusch (B.Sc.) [email protected] November 30th, 2013 Supervisor: Prof. Joshua Shaevitz Department of Physics and Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrated Genomics Princeton University, USA Home Advisor: Prof. Thomas Pfohl Department of Chemistry, Institute for Physical Chemistry University of Basel, CH Abstract As part of the fundamental question of how bacterial shape can be obtained and what proteins are involved, bending experiments on E.coli bacteria with mutations in mreB were conducted to provide answers to open questions in terms of the function of MreB in pepti- doglycan (PG) biosyntheses. Coloborators at Stanford [59] discovered MreB mutants which differ in cell width and investigations were con- ducted to measure if the mechanical properties of the cell wall and MreB bundles were different in these mutants. Using a bending cell assay consisting of optical tweezers and microfluidic channels, we re- peat former experiments by Siuyan Wang [3] to prove the influennce of MreB bundles on the mechanical property of the cell. Resulting values for the flexural reigidity (EI), cell width in M9 media and elastic mod- uli could be provided and it was shown that MreB contributes 8-20% to the overall cell stiffness, depending on differences in MreB. Also, pre- cice cell width measurements, using the basics for a 3D fluorescence microscopy technique [19], were measured and correlated with existing flexural rigidities of MreB mutants. Results show a clear cell radius de- pendency of the bending stiffness with EI / R3 and provide evidence for a single MreB function.

It alone can unite humility with boldness so as to allow us to penetrate to the heart of things ...” Alexander Grothendieck (From “Reaping and Sowing”) It has been a great privilege for me to helm ICTS these last two plus years, and to build on the strong foundations set by Spenta Wadia, the founding director. In this period, ICTS has grown from the close intimacy of our temporary garden home in IISc to something more akin to the expansive shade of a banyan tree in our new campus at Shivakote. Nevertheless, we continually strive to ‘renovate the quest’, trying to retain the innocence of all new beginnings. In fact, it is hard to believe that we are now in the tenth year of our existence – ready to step into adolescence in the second decade of our explorations.
