Science Pub: Harnessing Gut Microbes to Turn Waste into Energy
At Zoom
Grazing animals host a treasure trove of microorganisms in their gut that convert woody plant biomass into sugar. Dr. Michelle O’Malley, Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at UCSB, will discuss how her research group works to isolate gut microbes from animal droppings and unlock their bio-degradation secrets.
