Systems approach in a multi-organism strategy to understand biomolecular interactions in DOE-relevant organisms   Hydrogen regulation and global responses to electron, carbon, and nitrogen sources in Methanococcus maripaludis

PI: Multiple PIs

Funding: U.S. Department of Energy

Project Goals:

ENIGMA seeks to advance the increasingly high resolution mapping from molecules to microbes and leverage the discovery of mechanisms composing the subcellular, cellular, and intercellular networks of metabolite, protein, RNA and DNA molecules that drive macroscopic biogeochemical processes, integrating these into the larger framework of interacting microbial communities and ecosystems to address DOE goals.

Project Goals:

1.  Use transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to study the systems biology of H2 metabolism, formate metabolism, nitrogen fixation, and carbon assimilation in Methanococcus maripaludis.

2.  Determine the mechanism of H2 sensing and transcriptional regulation by H2.
