This three-year, $586,609 National Science Foundation project grant in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego, to apply novel methods for understanding microbial growth efficiency, function, and energy transfer in the ocean. The research aims to identify ecological conditions and microbial taxa accounting for variance in microbial growth efficiency along light and nutrient gradients. It uses data...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $279,809 to the University of California Irvine to quantify the relationship between environmental conditions and the particulate carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus ratios of marine microorganisms. Over the three-year period from February 2022 to January 2025, the researchers will characterize the distribution of biomass stoichiometric traits for...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $539,985 supports research into the stoichiometric trait distribution of the marine microbiome. Funded through the Geosciences program under the Division of Ocean Sciences, the award will quantify the relationship between environmental conditions and the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus ratios in marine microbes. Over three years, the researchers from Colorado State University will characterize the biomass elemental composition of 50 marine...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $452,631 over 3 years to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) for a collaborative research project on using hydrogen isotope analysis of amino acids as a novel tracer of microbial processes in marine particles. The research aims to improve understanding of the formation and sinking of organic particles in the ocean, which is critical...
The University of California San Diego received a $297,994 National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research predicting oxygen minimum zone and seasonal microbial activity from community structure using machine learning and novel measurements of ATP turnover. The two-year award beginning September 1, 2021 will support development of new techniques to analyze relationships between microbial...
This $599,986 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The grant will fund research to understand how the diverse metabolic activities of microbes associated with coral reef ecosystems mediate key biogeochemical processes and respond to environmental changes, such as the proliferation of macroalgae. The research will involve three main...
This five-year, $446,360 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research quantifying functional diversity among mixotrophic and heterotrophic microbes in the ocean. The University of Hawaii at Manoa will examine how mixotrophy, the ability to photosynthesize and consume other microbes, changes energy and nutrient flows through microbial food webs. Researchers will conduct in situ and laboratory experiments comparing predation...
This $439,396 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Duke University from September 2022 to August 2025 to develop a model microbial consortium for interrogating organic matter decomposition and carbon cycling in coastal systems under changing environmental conditions. Researchers will integrate field, laboratory, and modeling work to examine the functional roles and responses to temperature variation of diverse...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is awarded to the University of Oregon for a 3-year collaborative research project to investigate the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems.
