Proteome Investigations to enable DOE Office of Biomass Programs goals.
EMSL Project ID
28293
Abstract
We propose to utilize the proteomics data management system (DMS) to process proteomics data acquired on our laboratory's mass spectrometer. Our research is aligned with the DOE core mission to develop new sources of energy for the future. Thebiorefinery concept, which aims to make fuel from biomass economically feasible by the additional
production of value added compounds from by-products, supports this directive. Specifically more
economical methods of converting renewable plant-derived biomass first to sugars, then to fuels and
chemicals are required. Currently, filamentous fungi are used by industry to produce enzymes, organic
acids and pharmaceuticals. One of our overall goals is to identify the molecular basis of morphology control (and hyperproductivity) and be able to manipulate any filamentous fungus of interest into a hyperproductive state. In the course of this work we expect to answer basic research questions regarding the control of morphology and associated products (organic acids,enzymes,etc.).
