This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $880,632 supports research into drivers and effects of latent phage activation in marine SAR11 bacteria. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this three-year award to the University of California, Los Angeles will fill critical knowledge gaps about host-virus interactions in the global oceans. Through field surveys, laboratory experiments, and mathematical modeling, the grantee will quantify the frequency of prophage infections...
This $408,738 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate the effects of SUP05 bacterial cells and the viruses that infect them (phages) on nitrogen cycling in marine oxygen minimum zones. The project is led by the University of Washington, and aims to detail the combined impact of SUP05 cells and their associated phages on nitrogen transformation and loss processes in these ocean regions. Through a...
