Adaptability of non-genetic diversity in bacterial chemotaxis
Nicholas W Frankel, William Pontius, Yann S Dufour +3
Bacterial chemotaxis systems are as diverse as the environments that bacteria inhabit, but how much environmental variation can cells tolerate with a single system? Diversification…
Adaptation dynamics in densely clustered chemoreceptors
William Pontius, Michael W. Sneddon, Thierry Emonet
In many sensory systems, transmembrane receptors are spatially organized in large clusters. Such arrangement may facilitate signal amplification and the integration of multiple sti…
Fabrication and Electric Field Dependent Transport Measurements of Mesoscopic Graphite Devices
Yuanbo Zhang, Joshua P. Small, William V. Pontius +1
We have developed a unique micromechanical method to extract extremely thin graphite samples. Graphite crystallites with thicknesses ranging from 10 - 100 nm and lateral size $\sim…
