An intrinsic problem with these bacteria is their tendency to degenerate which is characterised by a reduction or complete loss in solvent and endospore formation which occurs when the bacteria are repeatedly subcultured. A greater understanding of this phenomenon is needed to overcome the problems it poses to industry.\u0026nbsp;Here we used a combination of genetic, ecological and evolutionary approaches to understand the process of degeneration more thoroughly to ultimately control the process of strain degeneration in industrial applications.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Invited Speaker Summer Seminar Series"}],"uid":"35021","created_gmt":"2020-08-03 13:56:31","changed_gmt":"2020-08-06 20:25:56","author":"mavdonina3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2020-08-03T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2020-08-03T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2020-08-03T17:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2020-08-03 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2020-08-03 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2020-08-03 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
