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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
