BIOFUELS (HYDROGEN AND ETHANOL) PRODUCTION OF CLOSTRIDIUM BY CELLULOSE BIOCONVERSION
(2018-05)
In view of the realization that fossil fuels reserves are limited, the dramatically increasing consumption of fossil fuels raised concerns for the energy security in the recent decades. Alternative energy generating options ...
Studying microbial community diversities by developing high-throughput experimental techniques and computational tools
(2018-12)
Since the advent of high-throughput technologies, the understanding of microbial biodiversity has rapidly transformed. Amplicon sequencing of phylogenetic makers, especially 16S rRNA genes has now become a well-adopted ...
AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INFLUENCE OF SUBSURFACE GEOCHEMISTRY ON MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES IN AN UNCONFINED CONTAMINATED AQUIFER
(2018)
Microorganisms account for ~ 90 gigatons of carbon in terms of global biomass and are important drivers of elemental cycling especially in oligotrophic subsurface environments. Subsurface ecosystems remain poorly characterized ...
STUDYING THE GASTROINTESTINAL MICROBIOME OF A TRADITIONAL PERUVIAN COMMUNITY
(2018-08-24)
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is an ecosystem that is home to a plethora of bacteria, archaea, microeukaryotes, and viruses, collectively termed the “gut microbiota” or “microbiome” when referring to the genetic ...
GENETIC AND GENOMIC ANALYSIS OF BAHD ACYLTRANSFERASES THAT DECORATE CELL WALL COMPONENTS WITH PHENOLIC ESTERS AND ALTER PLANT BIOMASS RECALCITRANCE
(2018)
Next generation biofuels make use of the energy stored in plant cell walls, so called lignocellulosic biomass. However, the natural resistance of plant cell walls against deconstruction, i.e., “cell wall recalcitrance”, ...
