The Northen Lab is excited to welcome Mimi Lynde to the lab as a new research associate. Learn more about Mimi 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? I majored in […]
Northen Lab researcher Jenny Onley attended the 2022 ASM Microbe conference this past June, presenting the poster “High-Throughput and Bond-Specific Analysis of Lignocellulose Deconstructing Enzymes with LignoChip.” This technology was developed by a team of scientists including other lab members Kai Deng, Noel Ha, Markus de Raad, and Trent Northen. […]
The JGI metabolomics group and Northen Lab members (including Katherine Louie, Benjamin Bowen, Andrea Kuftin, and Trent Northen) have contributed to multiple recent papers. Some of the highlights include the following: Novel metabolic interactions and environmental conditions mediate the boreal peatmoss-cyanobacteria mutualism [1] Sphagnum (or peat moss) forms symbiotic relationships […]
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 […]
