Subject: [Plantsci] SPLS Seminar: Dr Jannell Bazurto February 17th, 4:00 pm

Dear SPLS Community,

Please join us for the next in-person School of Plant Science seminar, to be held this Tuesday, February 17th at 4:00pm In Marley Rm 230.

Dr. Jannell Bazurto of the University of Minnesota will present "Methylobacterium in leaf microbiomes of summer and overwintering crops."

Bio:
Dr. Bazurto is a microbiologist whose research group focuses on understanding the integration of bacterial metabolism and stress response of Methylobacterium species, ubiquitous plant colonizers that promote seed germination, plant development, and plant resilience. Metabolic and environmental stressors have consistently been the focal point of her research, exploring critical principles of how cells respond to and regulate cellular imbalances and compounding external stressors. Beyond these pursuits, her lab aims to understand the ecological impacts of the formaldehyde-centric metabolism Methylobacterium extorquens in its native habitat as well as the overall impact of the Methylobacterium genus of plant-beneficial microbes on the composition of plant microbiomes and host-plant resilience, thereby exploring potential applications in sustainable agriculture and biotechnology. Dr. Bazurto is a classically trained geneticist with extensive experience integrating approaches that span experimental scales from molecular- to population[1]level phenomena. Her research is positioned at the interface of microbial physiology, biochemical genetics, and systems biology. Her lab is also interested in understanding how microbes navigate the inherent toxicity of endogenous metabolites, and the consequences associated with the breakdown of metabolic homeostasis. https://cbs.umn.edu/bazurto-lab

For those unable to attend in person, this seminar will also be available via Zoom:
