Integrating thermodynamic and microbial mechanisms to understand coupled controls of carbon and nitrogen on hyporheic zone
Lead Institution: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator: James Stegen
Terrestrial-aquatic interfaces are widely recognized as active zones of organic matter metabolism, and hyporheic zones in particular are critical in determining the fate of organic matter globally. In particular, subsurface zones of groundwater-...
Unraveling the catabolism of lignin-derived compounds in white-rot fungi (part II)
Lead Institution: National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Principal Investigator: Davinia Salvachua Rodriguez
White rot fungi (WRF) are the most efficient organisms for the depolymerization and mineralization of lignin to CO2 and H2O in Nature and thus, WRF play a pivotal role in carbon cycling. Lignin depolymerization by WRF (extracellular process) has...
