DOE’s Genesis Mission Bets on Anaerobic Fungi to Decode Microbial Communities

A UC Santa Barbara team led by Michelle O’Malley has been selected for Phase I support through the DOE’s Genesis Mission to train AI on anaerobic microbial communities — organisms that break down plant waste — with the goal of engineering consortia that produce medium-chain fatty acids from agricultural byproducts. The project targets one of… Read more
