AboutAbout the lab
Unraveling the mechanisms of microbial metabolism and substance production
The Applied Microbiology Lab investigates the mechanisms behind the diverse metabolic pathways and substance-production abilities of bacteria and fungi, and conducts research and education aimed at applying them in agriculture, food, chemistry, the environment, and health.
The diverse ability of microorganisms to convert substances has a major influence on global material cycles.
It is also the foundation of processes that convert the sugars, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids produced in agriculture.
The lab pursues basic research centered on microbial surface structures, metabolic functions, and the regulation of gene expression.
Key terms
- Metabolic pathways
- The series of chemical reactions through which living things transform substances inside their bodies to obtain the energy and materials they need to live
- Bioactive compounds
- Substances that affect the functions of living organisms. Those produced by microorganisms are studied
- Gene expression
- The process by which proteins and other products are made from the information in genes and begin to function. Adjusting its level and timing is called regulation
