Le Laboratoire de Microbiologie et Génétique Moléculaires

UMR 5100

The Laboratoire de Microbiologie et Génétique Moléculaires (LMGM) studies the organization, evolution and expression of the genomes of bacteria and bacteriophage. Our research ranges from the study of single molecules to living bacterial cells and their interaction with the environment. This research is based on approaches that include molecular genetics, biochemistry, genomics and bioinformatics. The bacteria and bacteriophage that we study are model organisms interesting for fundamental research as well as for applications in biotechnology, the food industry and the medical sciences.

During her PhD in the Chandler laboratory Catherine Guynet made significant contributions to the characterisation of a new transposition mechanism adopted by the bacterial insertion sequence IS608. Her work, described in five publications (Guynet & /al/., Mol. Cell 2008 et 2009; Barabas & /al/., Cell, 2008; Ronning.D.R. & /al/. Mol. Cell,, 2005; Ton-Hoang, B. & /al /. EMBO J. 2005), was recognised the attribution of the Jacques Monod Prize by the Fondation de France in 2009.
