Two metabolic pathways introduced into cyanobacteria increase its photosynthesis performance and provide partial protection from negative effects of excess light absorption.
By By Igor HouwatThe work explores how electrons can move across long distances within biomaterials, such as proteins. Understanding the factors that control electron transfer in a biological context is critical to advances in diverse fields, including bioenergy, biosynthesis and disease.
By By Igor Houwat, Jingcheng Huang, David Kramer, Danny DucatWhen electrons move, they are the electricity that powers life. But they are hard to pin down. The newly engineered system could guide electron transfer over long distances, powering future applications in medicine or 'green' fuel production.
By By Igor Houwat, Jingcheng HuangA protein from cyanobacteria has been redesigned into a homing beacon to attract molecular payloads. The long-term goal: to organize resources inside living cells for medical or industrial applications.
By By Igor Houwat, Eric YoungDucat has received $1,033,970 to investigate the interactions that underpin resilient microbial partnerships and that may be key to solving some of the earth’s biggest resource challenges.
By By Val OsowskiMadeline Bresson from the Sharkey lab and Jacob Wright from the Ducat lab have each won first prize at the University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum. Both were recognized for their poster presentations.
By By Igor Houwat; Banner image of UURAF 2019 by Trumpie PhotographyThe Ducat lab's research on bioplastics is featured in a recent article in the online publication, The Conversation.
By By The ConversationMSU scientists report how cyanobacteria line up their CO2-fixing factories within them in a system that works like Velcro. The research is part of an effort to control and repurpose these factories to make products for human consumption.
By By Igor Houwat, Danny DucatMSU’s second-ever iGEM team earned a Silver Medal for a new technology that can detect dangerous contaminants in the environment.
By By Bjoern Hamberger, Igor HouwatThe cooperative works like an assembly line and is relatively cheap to run. Future products could include medicine, even food for Martian outposts.
