- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program awarded a $1,087,895 project grant to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to investigate the dynamics of carbon and energy fluxes in methanogenic archaea. This 3-year project aims to identify and characterize the biochemical processes in these microbes that can efficiently convert low-energy substrates into high-energy methane gas, which has potential applications as a renewable fuel...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) a $500,000 Project Grant on May 15, 2025. This grant supports collaborative research to merge metabolomics and isotope biogeochemistry as a new approach for quantitative flux analysis of environmental carbon metabolism. The goal is to develop and validate a new algorithm for measuring rates and types of metabolism in organisms based on natural...
- The U.S. National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $700,000 Project Grant to Arizona State University (ASU) from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028. The grant funds a project titled "Elucidating, Understanding, and Leveraging 'Covert' Metabolic Interactions in Synthetic Microbial Communities."
