Quantification of Corrinoids in Fermented Foods

Michi Taga - Professor, Plant and Microbial Biology

Status: Full- no new appr needed     Weekly Hours: 9-11 hrs     Location: On Campus

Microbes live in nearly every environment on the planet, including on and within other organisms. Furthermore, microbes form complex communities in these ecosystems where they cooperate or compete for valuable resources. In the Taga lab, we study microbial community interactions by focusing on a family of nutrients called corrinoids (the...

Identifying Genetic Determinants for Nutrient Providing in Bacteria

Michi Taga - Professor, Plant and Microbial Biology

Status: Full- no new appr needed     Weekly Hours: 9-11 hrs     Location: On Campus

Microbial communities profoundly influence critical processes ranging from human health, plant health, and even how foods taste. One primary way that microbes interact is by sharing nutrients. In the Taga lab, we focus on the Vitamin B12 family of nutrients, known as corrinoids. Corrinoids are enzyme cofactors used by many...
