Northen Lab researchers Spencer Diamond, Peter Andeer, and Trent R. Northen and collaborators from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley, recently co-authored an International Society for Microbial Ecology (ISME) Communications paper: “Fine scale sampling reveals early differentiation of rhizosphere microbiome from bulk soil in young […]

Northen Lab researchers Vanessa Brisson, Suzanne Kosina, and Trent Northen co-authored the publication “Dynamic Phaeodactylum tricornutum exometabolites shape surrounding bacterial communities”. While the role algal exometabolites play in regulating microbial community composition is not fully understood, this paper identifies algal exudates from the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum and demonstrates their […]
In collaboration with the Johannes Lehmann’s Lab at Cornell University, Northen Lab researchers Benjamin Bowen, Suzanne Kosina, and Trent Northen co-authored the recent research article “Decomposition decreases molecular diversity and ecosystem similarity of soil organic matter” published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The goal of the […]
Northen Lab researchers Markus de Raad, Benjamin Bowen, Kai Deng, and Trent Northen recently authored a research article in the Journal of Biological Chemistry investigating a new high-throughput method for screening aminotransferase (AT) activity. Although aminotransferases play a central role in nitrogen metabolism for all species, the functionality of these […]
Northen Lab researchers Kai Deng, Markus de Raad, and Trent Northen along with collaborators at University of California Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore National Lab, and Sandia National Labs recently co-authored the publication “Rapid quantification of alcohol production in microorganisms based on nanostructure-initiator mass spectrometry (NIMS)”. NIMS is a surface-based MS technique, […]
Northen Lab researchers Sarah McLaughlin, Kateryna Zhalnina, Suzanne Kosina, Trent Northen, and Joelle Sasse, co-authored a paper recently accepted in Nature Communications, titled “The core metabolome and root exudation dynamics of three phylogenetically distinct plant species.” This research aimed to further understand the dynamics of root exudation and its influence […]
