Buruli ulcer: Mycolactone
- A professor from Groningen will be contacted
- Questions that we have:
- Can it diffuse across a membrane in coli?
- Can it be used in coli?
- What kind of lab (safety) is required?
- Is there an inactive form of the molecule?
- Can we work with it in Amsterdam?
- Is Groningen willing to donate a couple of days worth of labtime for us to do our validation experiments?
- How contagious/poisonous is it?
- Is mycolactone presented on the cell surface when bacterium is in the environment or only when it has infected a host?
Thermostable bacteria

- What temperatures are normal for E. coli?
Luring insects
