- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $299,758 to the University of Washington to develop a novel method for estimating bacterial evolutionary histories. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award include: Implementing and benchmarking a new mathematical approach for averaging gene-level phylogenies to obtain overall phylogenies for bacteria and archaea, even when not all genes are...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) was awarded to Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences for $396,577 to conduct research on the evolutionary patterns, systematics, and biogeographic distribution of two abundant but understudied groups of bacteria known as Patescibacteria and Chloroflexota. The research aims to improve fundamental knowledge about these cryptic microbes that play important roles in marine sediment ecosystems and...
- This federal Project Grant award for $732,388 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund collaborative research to document the biodiversity of microbial eukaryotes (protists) across geothermal spring systems. The research, led by Syracuse University, aims to describe new species of extremophilic protists, infer their evolutionary relationships, and explore putative adaptations enabling survival in harsh environments. By combining single-cell...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to comprehensively characterize the hidden diversity of Gloeobacteria, an enigmatic lineage of cyanobacteria critical for understanding the early evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis. The $522,583 award to the University of California, Davis aims to: 1) isolate new Gloeobacteria cultures through targeted fieldwork and real-time sequencing, 2) characterize the genomic,...
- This three-year, $673,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research into the role of ecological interactions in diversification among coexisting microbial species. The University of California, Irvine will study how commensal interactions, where one species benefits while the other is unaffected, influence the formation of new bacterial species in microbial communities. Researchers will culture bacteria in a commensal...
- This $487,135 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to The Trustees of Smith College to conduct collaborative research on the diversity and evolution of extremophilic microbial eukaryotes.
