Dexter G, Navas L, Grigg J, Bajwa H, Levy-Booth D, Liu J, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Oct; 119(43):e2213450119. PMID: 36256818
Bacterial catabolic pathways have considerable potential as industrial biocatalysts for the valorization of lignin, a major component of plant-derived biomass. Here, we describe a pathway responsible for the catabolism of...

Levy-Booth D, Navas L, Fetherolf M, Liu L, Dalhuisen T, Renneckar S, et al.
ISME J . 2022 May; 16(8):1944-1956. PMID: 35501417
Characterizing microorganisms and enzymes involved in lignin biodegradation in thermal ecosystems can identify thermostable biocatalysts. We integrated stable isotope probing (SIP), genome-resolved metagenomics, and enzyme characterization to investigate the degradation...

Levy-Booth D, Hashimi A, Roccor R, Liu L, Renneckar S, Eltis L, et al.
ISME J . 2020 Nov; 15(3):879-893. PMID: 33139871
Thermal swamps are unique ecosystems where geothermally warmed waters mix with decomposing woody biomass, hosting novel biogeochemical-cycling and lignin-degrading microbial consortia. Assembly of shotgun metagenome libraries resolved 351 distinct genomes...

Fetherolf M, Levy-Booth D, Navas L, Liu J, Grigg J, Wilson A, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2020 Sep; 117(41):25771-25778. PMID: 32989155
Cytochrome P450 enzymes have tremendous potential as industrial biocatalysts, including in biological lignin valorization. Here, we describe P450s that catalyze the -demethylation of lignin-derived guaiacols with different ring substitution patterns....

Levy-Booth D, Fetherolf M, Stewart G, Liu J, Eltis L, Mohn W
Front Microbiol . 2019 Sep; 10:1862. PMID: 31481940
The bacterial catabolism of aromatic compounds has considerable promise to convert lignin depolymerization products to commercial chemicals. Alkylphenols are a key class of depolymerization products whose catabolism is not well-elucidated....

Levy-Booth D, Giesbrecht I, Kellogg C, Heger T, DAmore D, Keeling P, et al.
ISME J . 2018 Dec; 13(4):950-963. PMID: 30538276
The Pacific coastal temperate rainforest (PCTR) is a global hot-spot for carbon cycling and export. Yet the influence of microorganisms on carbon cycling processes in PCTR soil is poorly characterized....

Arcand M, Levy-Booth D, Helgason B
Front Microbiol . 2017 Dec; 8:2293. PMID: 29230199
Long-term contrasts in agricultural management can shift soil resource availability with potential consequences to microbial carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) and the fate of C in soils. Isothermal calorimetry was...

Levy-Booth D, Winder R
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2010 Aug; 76(21):7116-25. PMID: 20802070
The abundance of nifH, nirS, and nirK gene fragments involved in nitrogen (N) fixation and denitrification in thinned second-growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii subsp. menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) forest soil was investigated...

Levy-Booth D, Gulden R, Campbell R, Powell J, Klironomos J, Pauls K, et al.
FEMS Microbiol Lett . 2008 Dec; 291(2):175-9. PMID: 19076230
Roundup Ready (RR) soybeans containing recombinant Agrobacterium spp. CP4 5-enol-pyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (cp4 epsps) genes tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate are extensively grown worldwide. The concentration of recombinant DNA from RR...

Levy-Booth D, Campbell R, Gulden R, Hart M, Powell J, Klironomos J, et al.
J Agric Food Chem . 2008 Jun; 56(15):6339-47. PMID: 18570434
Glyphosate-tolerant, Roundup Ready (RR) soybeans account for about 57% of all genetically modified (GM) crops grown worldwide. The entry of recombinant DNA into soil from GM crops has been identified...
