PhD candidate | Caroline Ajo-Franklin Lab | @RiceSSPB
Houston, TX
Joined January 2019
Unveiling the unfamiliar within the familiar: Our latest preprint, in collaboration with @ucsd_sbrg, presents a comprehensive study of Extracellular Electron Transfer in E. coli.
A team led by the Ajo-Franklin group’s very own @Bacterioman99 has uncovered the mechanism through which E. coli utilizes redox shuttles for extracellular respiration and growth, showcasing the unexpected versatility of microbial metabolism
