TITLE:  *A Few Thoughts on Methane Biocatalysts*



TIME:  *3:30PM*



LOCATION:  *GMCS 314*

ABSTRACT:

The consequences of climate change pose significant risks to human health,
including reductions of freshwater supplies and food. Global warming is
driven by the emission of greenhouse gases, mostly CO2 and methane.  While
methane is produced in essentially every ecosystem, from the deep ocean to
the human gut, the scale of the global methane cycle, in context of the
global carbon cycle, is sometimes difficult to fully appreciate. This is
partly due to the complexity and the variety of its sources and sinks. My
team research merges classical enzymology and genetics with systems-biology
approaches to both improve the understanding of methane utilization and
facilitate metabolic engineering. Our results bridge the potential of
biological systems with technology development to address affordable,
small-scale methane mitigation.
