Microorganisms are well-known to produce and\u003Cbr\u003Econsume greenhouse gases and have had outsized influence on the chemistry of Earth\u2019s\u003Cbr\u003Eatmosphere and ocean over the eons. Yet the vast majority of microbial species remain\u003Cbr\u003Euncultivated, and most microbial proteins, particularly those from marine and subsurface\u003Cbr\u003Eenvironments, remain uncharacterized. In this talk, I will highlight our lab\u2019s recent studies that\u003Cbr\u003Eintegrate environmental omics and laboratory studies of uncultivated marine microbes, including (i)\u003Cbr\u003Ea novel bacterial clade in marine anoxic zones that appear to make their own oxygen from nitric\u003Cbr\u003Eoxide, and (ii) a new type of bacterial proteins from deep subsurface sediments that slow the\u003Cbr\u003Egrowth of methane hydrate. These studies inform our understanding of how microbes survive in\u003Cbr\u003Ecold dark anoxic ecosystems and how microbial proteins could play a role in a green economy\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EIn this talk, I will highlight our lab\u2019s recent studies that\u003Cbr\u003Eintegrate environmental omics and laboratory studies of uncultivated marine microbes, including (i)\u003Cbr\u003Ea novel bacterial clade in marine anoxic zones that appear to make their own oxygen from nitric\u003Cbr\u003Eoxide, and (ii) a new type of bacterial proteins from deep subsurface sediments that slow the\u003Cbr\u003Egrowth of methane hydrate.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"These studies inform our understanding of how microbes survive in cold dark anoxic ecosystems and how microbial proteins could play a role in a green economy."}],"uid":"36509","created_gmt":"2024-09-20 15:09:33","changed_gmt":"2024-09-20 19:47:33","author":"cos-smanandhar8","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2024-09-26T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2024-09-26T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2024-09-26T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2024-09-26 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2024-09-26 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2024-09-26 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"ES\u0026T L1205","extras":[],"hg_media":{"675063":{"id":"675063","type":"image","title":"Jen-Glass-headshot.jpg","body":null,"created":"1726845066","gmt_created":"2024-09-20 15:11:06","changed":"1726845066","gmt_changed":"2024-09-20 15:11:06","alt":"Jen Glass headshot","file":{"fid":"258653","name":"Jen Glass headshot.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2024\/09\/20\/Jen%20Glass%20headshot.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2024\/09\/20\/Jen%20Glass%20headshot.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":83851,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2024\/09\/20\/Jen%20Glass%20headshot.jpg?itok=2F8V3rYs"}}},"media_ids":["675063"],"groups":[{"id":"364801","name":"School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
