Aude Picard (Life Sciences) and Cheyenne Brokaw (Law) and master's student Patrice Boyd (English) recently published a research article in the journal Geobiology, titled: "Membrane Vesicle Formation Removes Iron Sulfide Mineral Crusts From the Cell Surface of Growing Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria." In this project, funded by NSF EPSCoR, the team explored the strategies bacteria use to avoid being entombed in minerals. Brokaw and Boyd were undergraduate researchers prior to the article's publication.
