What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Genotypic variants of the P. aeruginosa dominant strains can coexist in the chronic colonization in CF patients. These variants can be undetected by RFLP and they might present variable antibiotic susceptibility

  2. investigation of mechanism of action of FpvA in uptake/transport of ferripyoverdine: cloning of individual domains/peptide fragments of FpvA; reconstitution of recombinant peptides; analysis of function of each domain/peptide
