Research in the De La Fuente Lab focuses on the interactions between plants and their associated microorganisms. We are especially interested in infection processes, host colonization, biofilm formation, and molecular characterization of bacterial plant pathogens. Research questions about the biology of pathogenic bacteria are being studied using a variety of microbiology and molecular biology techniques, as well as nanotechnology.
