Abstract
The team at PNNL is using a combination of flow cytometry, microscopy and lipidomics/metabolomics to establish baseline cell biological and metabolite data on DNA agility in eukaryotic organisms, and applications of synthetic biology already in process. We will use gain and loss of innocuous phenotypes to track DNA moving through an environment It is important to establish genetic characteristics and conditions that contribute to environmental DNA uptake for an understanding of the consequences of organism release, but this information also have applications in NIH, agricultural, and defense subject areas. Carryover projects underway include study of a red-colored mutant, production of itaconic acid and associated implications for compartmentalization of cellular processes, and NADPH production and use from different enzymes and under different conditions. These investigations contribute to cell biology and contextualize bio-product production for engineering and modeling of improved strains.
