Principal Investigator

Matthias Hess

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Lignocellulosic plant material is one of the most promising sources of sustainable liquid transportation fuels but the recalcitrant nature of the plant cell wall and the cost of biomass-degrading…

Method development to facilitate expression profiling of the biomass-degrading rumen microbiome

Lead Institution

University of California, Davis

Principal Investigator

Matthias Hess

Fungi play a significant role in anaerobic degrading of biomass in the cow rumen and fungal enzymes appear to have higher specific activities towards plant cell wall polymers than bacterial biomass…

Biomineralization and Biosequestration Mechanisms at Life's Upper Temperatures: A Reappraisal using Novel CryoEM Techniques

Principal Investigator

Sherry Cady

Though microbes can indirectly and metabolically transform, sequester, and transport (i) ions, (ii) organic and inorganic complexes, and (iii) precipitates via a wide range of mechanisms,…
