| Abstract | Biology is organized in space and time to allow organisms to grow and compete. Even the simplest bacteria use miniature, soccer ball-like “microcompartments” to house pathways of chemical reactions, allowing them to grow and process molecules that would otherwise be unavailable to them. Over 45 different types (“phyla”) of bacteria have genes for such microcompartments, including some that grow using sunlight and some which grow in our gut. This project studies the impact of geometry and permeab |
