- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for $119,330.00 was granted to Montana State University (MSU) to investigate the relationship between hydrogen (H2) metabolism and carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation in geothermal spring ecosystems in Yellowstone National Park. The research aims to identify the microbial populations and metabolic pathways involved in these processes, and to understand how they support the establishment of more complex...
- This is a $100,158 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) under the Exobiology program. The grant is to support the research of an MSU assistant professor on developing novel bioorthogonal labeling tools to study extremophilic microbes in geothermal hot springs. The research aims to provide a better understanding of the biotic and geochemical factors that drive microbial activity, which is relevant to NASA's Exobiology...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $552,970.00 grant for research to Montana State University (MSU) to study the microbial diversity in geothermal features. This research grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2024. As a premier research institution and land-grant university, MSU has a history of securing prime federal contracts and grants from agencies such as the Department of the Air Force, Department of...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) to investigate the production of hydrogen (H2) in subglacial basaltic systems and its role in sustaining chemolithotrophic communities. The specific objectives of the research project are to characterize the chemistry of meltwaters in glacial catchments, determine rates of biological H2 transformation and CO2 fixation, quantify enrichment in H2-based metabolism...
- This $431,418 grant awarded by NASA to Montana State University is focused on studying the biology and ecology of multicellular magnetotactic bacteria (MMB), which represent a unique model for understanding the early evolution of complex multicellular life. The project aims to: (i) determine the ecophysiology and metabolic requirements of MMB; (ii) assess whether MMB consortia exhibit cellular cooperation or division of labor; and (iii) develop hypotheses on the genetic and evolutionary...
- This is a $748,835 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) to study how the geochemistry of hydrothermal systems in Iceland and Yellowstone National Park affects microbial diversity, activity, and evolution. The work aims to understand how tectonic settings and subsurface geological processes shape hydrothermal system geochemistry, and how this in turn impacts extremophile communities. The research leverages...
- This federal contract award was granted to Montana State University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on "Genotypic & Phenotypic Changes in Yeast Related to Selective Pressures Unique to Microgravity." The $730,000.00 grant contract, awarded on December 13, 2003, is for research work to be completed by November 30, 2007. Montana State University, a top-tier research university and the largest university in Montana, has a strong track...
- This is a $99,499.75 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) to establish a stable isotope probing (SIP) facility at the university. The grant will enable MSU to expand its astrobiology research capabilities by acquiring instrumentation to perform SIP analysis of RNA and DNA. This technology will allow MSU researchers to link microbial metabolism and function, providing insights into energy flow and ecosystem development...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 training grant to Montana State University to conduct research on microbial metabolism in Antarctic subglacial environments. The research aims to provide insights into the potential for life to adapt to different planetary environments, including subsurface and subglacial bodies of liquid water that have been identified on moons of Jupiter and Saturn. The study will focus on directly sampling and analyzing the water...
