Principal Investigator

Ritimukta Sarangi

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Cellular metal chelation is a vital plant stress response mechanism that enables plants to survive in metal-polluted soils, which could be valuable in crop engineering for agricultural use and…

Investigation of electron transfer reactions in bioreduced Fe-bearing clay minerals

Lead Institution

Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

Principal Investigator

Ritimukta Sarangi

Project type

Limited Scope

The focus of this project is to investigate the redox state of Fe in bioreduced clay minerals to understand the role of lignin in the Fe reduction process. Nontronite was used as an environmentally…

Principal Investigator

Ritimukta Sarangi

Project type

Exploratory Research

Soil biota plays an important role in nutrient cycling processes through breakdown of nutrients from soil minerals or organic matter and rebuilding new nutrient structures for storage within their…

Testing soil simulated environments to probe phosphorus contained in concentrated viral clusters

Lead Institution

University of California, Davis

Principal Investigator

Joanne Emerson

Project type

Limited Scope

By shunting phosphorus (P) to new viral particles during infection, soil viruses likely contribute substantially to soil P cycling. Like other viruses, soil viruses are presumed to be…
