Research conducted by Professor John Morgan was published in Nature Communications and Nature Plants last year. Both scientific journals are part of the Nature Publishing Group.

His paper "The plasticity of cyanobacterial metabolism supports direct CO2 conversion to ethylene," appeared in the April 27, 2015 issue of Nature Plants.

He also was part of a team that published "Identification of a plastidial phenylalanine exporter that influences flux distribution through the phenylalanine biosynthetic network" in the Sept. 10, 2015 issue of Nature Communications.

Dr. Morgan's research focuses on engineering metabolic pathways towards increased production of chemicals as well as novel biologically active metabolites.
