We have a new publication with scientists at the University of California Davis and the University of Texas at Austin: “Bioactive Diterpenoids Impact the Composition of the Root-Associated Microbiome in Maize (Zea mays).” Metabolomics analysis identified dolabralexin diterpenoids as metabolites that influence the rhizosphere and bacterial communities associated with maize. […]
Trent Northen was recently interviewed by Richard Jacobs, host of the Finding Genius podcast, in a conversation titled “Living Earth: Studying the Microbial Community in Soil.” The Finding Genius podcast highlights experts conducting novel and exciting research in health, medicine, and biosciences topics. In the interview, he discusses his research […]
Understanding microbial metabolite cycling in soils using novel metabolomics approaches Trent Northen, Staff Scientist Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Berkeley, CA To improve agricultural processes and combat the effects of desertification and drought, we urgently need to improve our understanding of terrestrial nutrient cycling in soils. We have major investments in […]
