The National Science Foundation awarded $469,856 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of Michigan from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The award will support research into how the microenvironment of Hawaiian bobtail squid eggs facilitates antimicrobial response to environmental stress through a beneficial symbiosis with bacteria. The multidisciplinary team will examine how physical, chemical, and biological factors interface within eggs to govern specialized metabolite production by symbiotic bacteria in response to pathogens and temperature fluctuations. They will characterize targeted antimicrobial metabolites and their expression and localization within and outside eggs. Broader implications include furthering understanding of how host-microbe associations respond to increasing global temperatures and pathogen threats. Additionally, the award will establish the Chemistry of Squid Symbiosis program to cross-train students in symbiosis and natural product chemistry research and scientific communication skills. This award aligns with the Biological Sciences program's goals of strengthening the biological sciences through increased knowledge and understanding of major issues.
