"Functional Characterization of Vitamin Transport and Metabolism in Microbes" (Sponsored jointly by the Department of Marine Sciences and the UGA Microbiome Seminar Series). Dr. Wright conducts research on activity-based proteomics by which proteins are captured from microbes or the environment based on their function.
Abstract: Marine biogeochemistry is orchestrated by a complex and dynamic community of microorganisms that attempt to maximize their own fecundity through a combination of competition and cooperation.  At a systems level, the community can be described as a distributed metabolic network, where different species contribute their own unique set of metabolic capabilities.  Our current project attempts to understand the governing…
