Glass Lab Featured in NY Times
Research and video done in the Glass Lab is featured in the New York Times online series “Science Take” by James Gorman. The video message highlights an amazing, interconnected transport system used by Neurospora crassa to spread nuclei among its filaments as it grows. Fungi can have many nuclei in one cell. As that cell […]

Seventh Annual Genomics of Energy & Environment Meeting
Louise Glass discusses systems biology approaches to understanding plant cell wall degradation in a model filamentous fungus:
Energy Biosciences Institute Announces First Patent
The discovery resulted from work completed by teams at UC Berkeley and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to optimize sugar conversion yields by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce bioethanol. The scientists transferred cellodextrin transporters and an intracellular β-glucosidase identified in the plant biomass degrading filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa into a C5 utilizing yeast […]
