The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a three-year, $450,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund research on "The Crotonyl-CoA-Dependent NADH:Ferredoxin Oxidoreductase from M. elsdenii" from August 2021 through July 2024. As part of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goals of advancing scientific knowledge and understanding major issues, this project aims to increase understanding of a key enzyme involved in anaerobic metabolism in the bacterium Clostridium thermoaceticum. The research findings could provide insight into carbon and energy flow in microbial communities and optimization of biofuel production.
