Recent Publications
Recent research in the EMMB lab has focused on mercury binding and methylmercury degradation by methanotrophs, as well characterization of the effect of rare earth elements on methanotrophic physiology and gene expression. We are also examining the mechanism of copper uptake in methanotrophs and competition for copper between methanotrophs and non-methanotrophs. Some recent publications include:
“An Aminotransferase is Responsible for the Deamination of the N-terminal Leucine and Required for Formation of Oxazolone Ring A in Methanobactin of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b”. W. Gu, B. S. Baral, A. A. DiSpirito, and J. D. Semrau§. Applied and Environmental Microbiology. E02619-16. 2017.
