Northen Lab researchers Markus de Raad, Peter Andeer, Suzanne Kosina, Nicholas Saichek, Amber Golini, La Zhen Han, Ying Wang, Benjamin Bowen, and Trent Northen are authors on the paper “A Defined Medium for Cultivation and Exometabolite Profiling of Soil Bacteria.” Traditional media for microbial growth do not take into account […]
Northen Lab researchers Ying Wang, Tami Swenson, Anita Silver, Peter Andeer, Amber Golini, Suzanne Kosina, Benjamin Bowen, and Trent Northen are authors on the new paper “Substrate Utilization and Competitive Interactions Among Soil Bacteria Vary With Life-History Strategies.” This paper looks at genomic traits, exometabolite profiles, and interactions among soil […]
The Northen Lab is excited to welcome Kshitiz (KZ) Gupta to the lab as a new postdoctoral researcher. Learn more about KZ in the following interview! What is your area of expertise? Could you talk a little bit about your background and what brought you to your field? My expertise […]
Northen Lab researchers Suzanne Kosina, Markus de Raad, Benjamin Bowen, and Trent Northen are authors on the paper “Biofilm Interaction Mapping and Analysis (BIMA) of Interspecific Interactions in Pseudomonas Co-culture Biofilms.” BIMA is an integrated platform that utilizes automated colony printing, barcoded mutant library profiling, and metabolomics to investigate biofilm-based […]
The Northen Lab recently hosted Marco Duenas, a graduate student from UC Berkeley. Learn more about Marco in the following interview. What is your area of expertise? Could you talk a little bit about your background and what brought you to your field? My name is Marco Duenas, I did […]
Northen Lab researchers Vanessa Brisson, Benjamin Bowen, Amber Golini, and Trent Northen are authors on the new paper “Identification of Effector Metabolites Using Exometabolite Profiling of Diverse Microalgae.” In this study, untargeted metabolomic analysis was conducted on nonpolar exometabolites produced by four microalgal strains. Understanding microalgal interactions is important, given […]
Lauren Jabusch, Benjamin Bowen, and Trent Northen are authors on the paper “Microfabrication of a Chamber for High-Resolution, In Situ Imaging of the Whole Root for Plant–Microbe Interactions.” As mentioned before, specialized plant growth chambers offer promise as a way of investigating rhizosphere interactions. The Imaging EcoFAB, presented in this […]
The rhizosphere is a dynamic ecosystem that is difficult to study due to the volume and types of interactions that occur. Trent Northen is an author on the review paper “Specialized Plant Growth Chamber Designs to Study Complex Rhizosphere Interactions” that takes a look at different types of chambers and […]
Northen Lab researchers Tami Swenson, Marc Van Goethem, and Trent Northen are authors on the paper “Learning representations of microbe-metabolite interactions” [1]. This research focuses on the integration of multiomics datasets and methods of finding relationships between microbial genes and metabolomes. A Matters Arising article by Quinn and Erb responded […]
