Question: What is the most amazing thing you have found in your experiments with the bacterial sense of smell???

OK well I’ve help discover how the signalling pathway resets itself. This is important as once you have ‘smelt’ something you want to stop smelling it once the smell has gone so I’ve discovered part of the pathway that does this

I’m currently working on how the bacterial ‘nose’ (sensor proteins) splits when the cells divide so that each cell gets a ‘nose’
