Protein fluctuations and phenotypic variability in populations of microorganisms

Populations of microorganisms exhibit wide variability in protein expression that can lead to differences in shape structure and behavior In my talk I will describe the effect of expression variability on the behavior of bacteria in a temperature gradient as an example and provide a quantitative relationship between the two I will then discuss our efforts to uncover the sources of variability in protein expression in general and show that the protein distribution measured under a broad range
