Projects

Biogenic Iron Materials

Lead Institution
J. Craig Venter Institute
Principal Investigator
Yuri Gorby
Project type
Exploratory Research
We will image iron minerals produced by the reduction of solid phase ferric oxides. The research will require the use of field emission SEM and TEM.

Uranium Biomineralization by Caulobacter crescentus

Lead Institution
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Yongqin Jiao
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The research goal of this proposal is to understand and evaluate the potential of using the aerobic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus for the application of uranium bioremediation. Previous work by…

The in vivo localization and interactions between structural components of the Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 metal reducing system by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Matthew Marshall
Project type
Grand Challenge
To understand the mechanisms of anaerobic metal oxide reduction, important issues regarding the subcellular localization and the outer membrane architecture of the iron-reducing respiratory chain…

The role of microbes in biomineral polymorph selection

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Alice Dohnalkova
Biologically precipitated minerals are commonly present in very close association with biomineralizing microbes. Microbe-mineral interactions are complex in that they are often reciprocal in nature…
