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 […]
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 […]
