Papers
The taurine biosynthetic pathway of microalgae
Rahul Tevatia,James Allen,Deepak Rudrappa,Derrick White,Thomas E. Clemente,Heriberto Cerutti,Yaşar Demirel,Paul H. Blum +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first taurine biosynthetic pathway in marine and fresh water microalgae combined with medium supplementation was identified and necessary catalytic activities were then used to predict the first 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid pathway in these organisms.
Uncoupling Fermentative Synthesis of Molecular Hydrogen from Biomass Formation in Thermotoga maritima.
TL;DR: In this paper, transient gene inactivation was used to block lactate production as a strategy to produce spontaneous mutant cell lines that overproduced H2 through mutation of unpredicted genetic targets.
Comparative kinetic modeling of growth and molecular hydrogen overproduction by engineered strains of Thermotoga maritima
TL;DR: A higher maintenance energy along with growth and non-growth H2 coefficients corroborate the higher H2 productivity of the engineered strains of T. maritima and established a continuous fermentation system for the sustainable H2 production.

Contribution of Pentose Catabolism to Molecular Hydrogen Formation by Targeted Disruption of Arabinose Isomerase (araA) in the Hyperthermophilic Bacterium Thermotoga maritima.
Derrick White,Raghuveer Singh,Deepak Rudrappa,Jackie Mateo,Levi Kramer,Laura Freese,Paul H. Blum +6 more
TL;DR: A stable genetic method for a hyperthermophilic bacterium that will advance studies on the basic and synthetic biology of Thermotogales is reported, and provides a new strategy to explore H2 formation and life at an extremely high temperature in the bacterial domain.

Rahul Tevatia,Sophie Payne,James Allen,Derrick White,Thomas E. Clemente,Heriberto Cerutti,Yaşar Demirel,Paul Blum,Paul Blum +8 more
TL;DR: The results of this study support the feasibility of using engineered microalgae coupled with culture supplementation to meet taurine requirements for use as an animal feed supplement.
