The National Science Foundation awarded a $716,898 Project Grant to the University of North Texas under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to develop advanced biocatalyst tools and resources to enable biogas-based biomanufacturing from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. Specifically, the University of North Texas will utilize genetic engineering and metabolic modeling to advance methanotroph-based biotechnologies for the sequestration and utilization of methane and carbon...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $800,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Washington University's Office of Sponsored Research Services Division. The 3-year project aims to investigate the metabolic cooperation between a phototrophic bacterium and a methanogenic archaeon, and how this "syntrophic" interaction influences methane production and the nitrogen cycle in anoxic environments. The research will shed light on how these...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $348,452 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to conduct collaborative research on aerobic methane oxidation in the deep sea. The goal is to explore how differences in oxygen concentrations affect the ability of microbes to consume methane released from natural gas seeps on the seafloor. The project will use newly-developed instruments to measure methane consumption rates...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant awarded to The University Corporation at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) totals $997,047 over the period from July 15, 2024 to June 30, 2028. The project aims to uncover the genome-wide role of the AcrR regulator in controlling metabolic pathways and physiological functions in Gram-negative bacteria. Specifically, the research will identify the network of metabolic genes directly regulated by...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding the controls on aerobic methane oxidation in deep-sea gas seeps. The $143,250 award to the University of Southern California will fund the development and deployment of custom instruments to measure methane consumption rates and monitor microbial communities in deep-sea environments with varying oxygen concentrations. The goal...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,055 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Purdue University. The grant funding supports a 5-year research project focused on studying the assembly and supramolecular organization of bacterial microcompartments. This research aims to develop a model for how these large protein assemblies are built, mature, and function, with the goal of understanding the mechanisms of both beneficial and pathogenic...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will provide $563,387 to The University of Mississippi to investigate the function of an unknown protein that influences pilus biosynthesis in certain bacteria. The project aims to characterize how this conserved protein, BRESU_2828, interacts with other proteins to regulate pilus formation, which is critical for bacterial attachment and biofilm development. The research will utilize...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $626,831 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) to conduct collaborative research on the molecular mechanisms behind how certain bacteria use light-sensing proteins called phytochromes to regulate essential developmental processes. The project aims to use advanced structural biology techniques like cryo-electron microscopy and time-resolved X-ray crystallography to study...
This $592,188 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate the genetics and biosynthesis of methanobactin, a novel compound produced by bacteria that binds to copper. The project aims to: (1) delineate the function of genes involved in methanobactin production, (2) engineer modified forms of methanobactin with potential for treating copper-related...
