New paper characterizing the metabolic pathways of bacteria involved in oil degradation in the DWH oil spill

Through a collaboration with the Teske Lab (UNC), Tony Gutierrez (my 2015 REU student), and postdoc (Nina Dombrowski), several genomes were reconstructed from DNA-SIP experiments run on the DWH spill oil in 2010, (resulting in finding hydrocarbon degradation pathways in uncultured bacteria from the spill).
