Rotary motor reveals how microbial metabolites modulate bacterial energetics

Dr. Pushkar Lele and a team of researchers from Texas A&M University conducted a study to see how indole—an organic compound and a significant component of the bacterial exometabolome—impacts the energy levels and protein function in bacteria. Indole can promote antibiotic resistance, so understanding the metabolite’s diverse effects on bacterial physiology is critical.
