Research Partners: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; Argonne National Laboratory; Sandia National Laboratory; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; University of Utah.
This team, led by Oak Ridge and Pacific Northwest National Laboratories, will develop and use the technologies needed to identify and characterize the complete set of multiprotein complexes, the molecular machines of life, within a microbial cell. The research will focus on two microbes -- one that plays a significant role in earth's carbon cycle and another with an ability to clean up metals in contaminated soil.
Award to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory $36.6 million over 5 years
Rapid Deduction of Stress Response Pathways in Metal/Radionuclide Reducing Bacteria
Research Partners: Sandia National Laboratory; Oak Ridge National Laboratory; University of California at Berkeley; University of Missouri, Columbia; University of Washington, Seattle; Diversa Corporation, San Diego, Calif.
This team will develop computational models to describe and predict the behavior of gene regulatory networks in microbes in response to the environmental conditions found in waste sites contaminated with metals and radionuclides.
Award to Sandia National Laboratory $19.1 million over 3 years
