Projects

Understanding Biomass Conversion within Thermophilic Communities and Isolates

Lead Institution
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Steven Singer
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Efficient deconstruction of lignocellulose into monomeric sugars is a key step in the development of renewable and sustainable liquid transportation fuels from biomass. The DOE Joint BioEnergy…

A Single Cell Approach to Understanding a Bacterial-Protist Food Web

Lead Institution
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Steven Singer
Project type
Special Science
Ciliate protists are ubiquitous in terrestrial environments, but their role in biomass deconstruction in these environments remains undefined. In this project, this consortium will be cultivated on…

Building the lignin metabolic map for the production of advanced biofuels

Lead Institution
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Blake Simmons
Project type
Special Science
The overall goal of this project is to develop a metabolic map in four targeted organisms using 13C-labeled versions of the lignin-derived model compounds known to be capable of supporting microbial…

Reverse Engineering CAZyme Hypersecretion in Filamentous Fungi

Lead Institution
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Steven Singer
Project type
Limited Scope
In this project, we are aiming to uncover the basis of carbohydrate active enzyme (CAZyme) hypersecretion in the Neurospora crassa ?frp-1 mutant. We also want to reverse engineer this phenotype into…
