- 13C-Metabolic Flux Analysis: An Accurate Approach to Demystify Microbial Metabolism for Biochemical ProductionGuo, Weihua; Sheng, Jiayuan; Feng, Xueyang (MDPI, 2015-12-25)Metabolic engineering of various industrial microorganisms to produce chemicals, fuels, and drugs has raised interest since it is environmentally friendly, sustainable, and independent of nonrenewable resources. However, microbial metabolism is so complex that only a few metabolic engineering efforts have been able to achieve a satisfactory yield, titer or productivity of the target chemicals for industrial commercialization. In order to overcome this challenge, 13C Metabolic Flux Analysis (13C-MFA) has been continuously developed and widely applied to rigorously investigate cell metabolism and quantify the carbon flux distribution in central metabolic pathways. In the past decade, many 13C-MFA studies have been performed in academic labs and biotechnology industries to pinpoint key issues related to microbe-based chemical production. Insightful information about the metabolic rewiring has been provided to guide the development of the appropriate metabolic engineering strategies for improving the biochemical production. In this review, we will introduce the basics of 13C-MFA and illustrate how 13C-MFA has been applied via integration with metabolic engineering to identify and tackle the rate-limiting steps in biochemical production for various host microorganisms
- 1983 Summary of Weed Control Trials for Agronomic CropsHagood, Edward Scott (Virginia Tech, 1983)This publication contains a summary of selected research trials conducted in 1983 in the area of agronomic crop weed control. It is intended as a means of sharing preliminary results with industry cooperators and weed scientists in adjacent states.

- 2011 HNFE Happenings(Virginia Tech, 2011)As we approach our 50th anniversary as an academic department at Virginia Tech, I reflect on all the dynamic changes and accomplishments HNFE has experienced in the last 50 years. Beginning in the Department of Home Economics in 1921-22, HNFE continues as a highly successful and prominent department at Virginia Tech. In 1961, the Department of Foods and Nutrition was established within the School of Home Economics. The name was changed in 1964 to Department of Human Nutrition and Foods, with strengths in teaching, research, and extension. The department expanded when we merged with exercise science in 1994 to become the Department of Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise. Wallace Hall opened in 1968, and faculty members continue to use laboratory and teaching space there, as well as additional facilities in War Memorial Hall, the Corporate Research Center, and Virginia Tech Riverside in Roanoke. HNFE excels in its established programs and is offering new academic opportunities that extend innovative learning experiences to students. Faculty members are conducting exciting research on a wide spectrum of topics, engaging students and the community while making a difference across the commonwealth through Extension efforts. HNFE students and alumni are winning prestigious awards and securing cutting-edge positions in the workforce. Our department is highly visible in the college, throughout Virginia, and in the world.
