This project grant aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of the integrated...
The University of Southern California will receive $451,571 from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for a two-year Project Grant award ending July 31, 2024. The grant funds research to map global distributions of B-vitamins in surface ocean waters and analyze their effects on phytoplankton species biogeography and ecosystem functioning. Researchers will establish the first global map of B-vitamin distributions using data collected during the Malaspina circumglobal expedition. They will determine how ambient B-vitamin concentrations combined with other nutrients influence plankton community composition in subtropical and tropical open ocean environments, including ocean gyres. Targeted metagenomic analyses will identify B-vitamin synthesizers and consumers within plankton communities sampled across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Results will enhance understanding of B-vitamin distributions globally and their role in coupling plankton dynamics to ambient vitamin pools in the surface ocean.
