Kelly Wrighton

Former Faculty
Assistant Professor
Department of Microbiology

 

Research Description:

The Wrighton Environmental Microbiology Laboratory uses community genomics (metagenomics) to reconstruct organismal metabolisms and identify community interactions that impact ecosystem processes. We use laboratory cultivation and biochemical experiments to validate genomic insights. The research in the lab is currently focused on methanogenic systems including microbial factors impacting green-house gas emission from wetlands, biocorrosion of steel in the energy industry, and cultivation of novel fermentative bacteria.
