How salt-loving archaea can assist with biofuel production

Halophilic bacteria thrive in environments with very high concentrations of salt such as the waters and sediments of salt lakes and saline soils. One of the reasons why the DOE JGI has been sequencing halophiles under the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea (GEBA) project and the Community Sequencing Program is because they have salt-adapted… [Read More]

DOE JGI’s microbial work and IMG on ESNet’s Network Matters

Microbes are single-cell organisms that live in colonies and can be found in nearly every corner of our planet, in places ranging from insects’ intestines to some of the most toxic chemical environments. The site for the most detailed information on the genetic makeup of these organisms only lives in one place – at the… [Read More]

UC Berkeley’s CNR reports Cheryl Kerfeld’s ASBMB Award

“The integration of bona fide research and development of critical thinking skills into undergraduate education has no greater or more effective advocate than Cheryl Kerfeld,” said Kathleen Scott, an associate professor at the University of South Florida, who supported Kerfeld’s nomination for the award. Colleagues underscore that Kerfeld has pushed the envelope for education both… [Read More]
