Identification and Regulation of Cellulases within Novel Anaerobic Gut Fungi

Lead Institution
University of California, Santa Barbara
Principal Investigator
Michelle O'Malley
Project type
FICUS Research
Biofuels derived from plant biomass (lignocellulose) are attractive alternatives to petroleum-based products, as they avoid many of the economic and environmental problems that plague traditional…

Comprehensive Characterization of the Cellulosomes from Anaerobic Gut Fungi

Lead Institution
University of California, Santa Barbara
Principal Investigator
Michelle O'Malley
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
This proposal seeks use of EMSL resources to characterize the secreted, multi-enzyme cellulosomes that originate from anaerobic gut fungi. Cellulosomes enable anaerobic fungi to tether different…

Collaborative Access Team: Pacific Northwest Cryo-EM Center (PNCC)

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
James Evans
PNNL will create and operate the Pacific Northwest Center for Cryo-EM (PNCC), a state-of-the-art national center for cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) that will rapidly and efficiently collect and…

Connecting Structure and Function in Anaerobic Fungal Cellulosomes

Lead Institution
University of California, Santa Barbara
Principal Investigator
Michelle O'Malley
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
This proposal seeks use of EMSL resources to characterize the unique, multi-enzyme cellulosomes made by anaerobic gut fungi that are found within large herbivores. Cellulosomes enable anaerobic…
