PhD @WUSTL I Postdoc @UCberkeley @berkeleyMCB - Archaeal/bacterial genetics and physiology, c-type cytochromes, extracellular electron transfer
Joined July 2019
🚨 Our stellar postdoc (w/ Stolper Lab) @GroppJonathan posted his first preprint! His work resolves a long-standing conundrum in the field of geobiology by showing how the biochemistry of methanogenesis impacts the isotope composition of biogenic methane! https://t.co/hjGn3kUCBh
biorxiv.org
The stable isotopic composition of biogenic methane varies substantially in the environment and is routinely used to fingerprint its source. However, the underlying cause of this variation is...

Super happy to see our work on MmcA, a multiheme cytochrome c from the model methanogen, Methanosarcina acetivorans is out today. A big thanks to @lab_nayak, @Keyiiiiing and @Prof_SJE !!!
So excited to have this ⚡️electrifying⚡️ story published! Congratulations to lead author Dinesh (@electro_microbe) & collaborators! @lab_sje Check out the article to learn about the roles of MmcA in methanogenic electron transport:

Methanogens ❤️ MCR, but how much do they really need? 🤔 Our postdoc Gray Chadwick & grad student Gavin Dury titrated MCR expression to test the hypothesis that MCR catalyzes the growth rate-limiting step of methanogenesis in their new preprint! 🤓 Read:

Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyzes the final step of methanogenesis, the microbial metabolism responsible for nearly all biological methane emissions to the atmosphere. Decades of biochemi...

Thrilled to share that our paper on MCR assembly was published @PNASNews:
So proud to share the newest pre-print from our lab: https://t.co/q8Nqrrdqum A tour de force co-led by postdocs Gray and Aaron @aaronjoinerphd, in collaboration with Sangeetha Ramesh and Prof. Doug Mitchell at UIUC. Turns out it takes a village to do great science (& build MCR!)

I had a wonderful time at the #NorCalGeobio symposium meeting great researchers and learning about their cool sciences. Thanks to the organizers!!!
105 attendees, 60 presentations, 22 institutes - the 1st #NorCalGeobio symposium rocked! 😆 CONGRATS to the amazing student/postdoc presenters, esp. the 1st timers, and THANKS to the awesome student organizers. See you next year! @amanda_semler @pulkitsingh97 @NSF @stanforddoerr

Check out new findings by our brilliant graduate student @blkdwnng from @lab_nayak, suggesting new role to our favorite multiheme cytochrome c, MmcA.
🚨 New pre-print from our lab for fans of microbial metabolism! 📑⚡️ It's got growth curves galore and some hypotheses about backup pathways for ferredoxin regeneration. Congratulations to @blkdwnng (his 1st 1st author!) @electro_microbe and Dr. Nayak!

Single celled, methane-producing Archaea generate nearly 70% of the methane gas released into the atmosphere. Insights into the role of c-type cytochromes may reveal how.
