Functional Characterization of Vitamin Transport and Metabolism in Microbes

"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.


Using metagenomic and metatranscriptomic observations to test a thermodynamic-based model of community metabolic expression over time and space

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…
