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 […]
Northen Lab researchers Nicole Ing, Kai Deng, and Trent Northen are authors on a paper examining glycoside hydrolases, or GHs. GHs are capable of hydrolyzing (or breaking down) polysaccharides, which make them an important compound for bioenergy production. A subfamily of GHs, GH5_4, can hydrolyze cellulose, xyloglucan, and mixed-linkage glucans […]
JGI Metabolomics researchers Andrea Kuftin, Katherine Louie, and Trent Northen contributed to the paper “Development of platforms for functional characterization and production of phenazines using a multi-chassis approach via CRAGE,” which utilized metabolomics to analyze PCA (phenazine-1-carboxylic acid) and PDC (phenazine-1,6-dicarboxylic acid) from bacterial cultures. As previously highlighted, CRAGE (or […]
