Biography

ROLF ALEXANDER PRADE is a Professor of Microbiology in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics Oklahoma State University located in Stillwater OK 74078. His Field of Endeavor is Bioinformatics and Molecular Genetics of Fungi. He has published over 80 peer reviewed publications some of which are comprehensive reviews of genomic information (Segato, F., A. R. Damasio, R. C. de Lucas, F. M. Squina and R. A. Prade (2014). "Genomics review of holocellulose deconstruction by aspergilli." Microbiol Mol Biol Rev 78(4): 588-613), others deal with gene regulation and high yield protein secretion (Segato, F., A. R. Damasio, T. A. Goncalves, R. C. de Lucas, F. M. Squina, S. R. Decker and R. A. Prade (2012). "High-yield secretion of multiple client proteins in Aspergillus." Enzyme Microb Technol 51(2): 100-106) and another set of articles describe enzymes involved in biomass degradation (Saykhedkar, S., A. Ray, P. Ayoubi-Canaan, S. D. Hartson, R. Prade and A. J. Mort (2012). "A time course analysis of the extracellular proteome of Aspergillus nidulans growing on sorghum stover." Biotechnol Biofuels 5(1): 52 and Youssef, N. H., M. B. Couger, C. G. Struchtemeyer, A. S. Liggenstoffer, R. A. Prade, F. Z. Najar, H. K. Atiyeh, M. R. Wilkins and M. S. Elshahed (2013). "The genome of the anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain C1A reveals the unique evolutionary history of a remarkable plant biomass degrader." Appl Environ Microbiol 79(15): 4620-4634).

Research Interest

ROLF ALEXANDER PRADE is a biologist with a traditional education in biochemical genetics applied to microorganisms. Accordingly, He learned how to simplify elaborate biological phenomena, and focus on elementary gene-protein subsets. His scientific interest emphasizes biological views of how and why simple eukaryotes decide to convert one functional molecule into another. For example plant cell walls are polymers that contain simple sugars that fungi can access and utilize as a source of food, however they have to recognize these complex and recalcitrant polymers and convert them into simple sugars - glucose.
