Very cool news from UC Berkeley. Jill Banfield, one of the greats of environmental microbiology, is going to receive both the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Earth and Environmental Science and the L’Oreal-UNESCO “for women in science” award.
I am very happy to see this. Jill has done some amazing work in multiple areas of environmental microbiology and continues to push frontiers in technology and science. And since I am always on an Open Access crusade here, here are some links to some of her recent papers that are free in Pubmed Central:
- Metabolome-proteome differentiation coupled to microbial divergence.
- Ecological distribution and population physiology defined by proteomics in a natural microbial community.
- Enigmatic, ultrasmall, uncultivated Archaea.
- Characterization of extracellular polymeric substances from acidophilic microbial biofilms.
- A high-throughput de novo sequencing approach for shotgun proteomics using high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry.
- Proteogenomic basis for ecological divergence of closely related bacteria in natural acidophilic microbial communities.
- Proteogenomic monitoring of Geobacter physiology during stimulated uranium bioremediation.
- Community-wide analysis of microbial genome sequence signatures.
- Community genomic and proteomic analyses of chemoautotrophic iron-oxidizing “Leptospirillum rubarum” (Group II) and “Leptospirillum ferrodiazotrophum” (Group III) bacteria in acid mine drainage biofilms.
- Insights into the diversity of eukaryotes in acid mine drainage biofilm communities.
- The dynamic genetic repertoire of microbial communities.
- Population genomic analysis of strain variation in Leptospirillum group II bacteria involved in acid mine drainage formation.
