Originally published: Minority Microbiology Mentor Newsletter – April 2016Photosynthetic microalgae such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Chlamy for short) have the potential to become sustainable biofactories for renewable biofuels and a wide variety of other valuable commodities. However, biofuel production using microalgae is not yet profitable because the underlying economics of production are not favorable. One major challenge in algae-based biofuel manufacturing […]

The past nine days have been exciting for the Baliga Lab. Dr. Anne Thompson and Claudia Ludwig have been working with eight teachers to begin the process of translating Anne’s oceanography research on the Invisible Forest into curriculum that offers a hands-on, engaging experience for high school students.

Here we report that during continuous culture of Methanococcus maripaludis under defined nutrient conditions, growth yields relative to methane production decreased markedly with either H(2) excess or formate excess.
This model accurately recapitulates known dynamical properties of the Cu circuit and predicts that intracellular Cu-buffering emerges as a consequence of the interplay of paralogous metallochaperones that traffic and allocate Cu to distinct targets.
Nitin Baliga received the 2012 Alvin J. Thompson Award from NWABR for his contributions to high school science education. He and two other award recipients were honored at an event on June 12.
Read moreThe Marc Facciotti lab at UC Davis published A workflow for genome-wide mapping of archaeal transcription factors with ChIP-seq. This paper demonstrates a novel ChIP-seq workflow for mapping genome-wide binding sites of natively expressed transcription factors in archaea. Gaggle software features prominently.
