The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), awarded a $324,255 Project Grant to Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College (LSU) for collaborative research to evaluate how engineered synthetic microbial communities may help plant hosts adapt to climate change. The grant, awarded on July 1, 2023, will run through June 30, 2026. The key objectives are to: (1) assess the impacts of different synthetic microbial communities and environmental conditions on plant hosts, (2) expand understanding of how environmental change alters microbe-host interactions, and (3) develop engineered synthetic microbial communities that can enhance organismal and ecosystem resilience. The research will involve collecting duckweed samples across temperature gradients, acquiring bacteria, and conducting high-throughput experiments on an automated platform. The project will also provide mentoring and training opportunities for students from middle school through undergraduate levels.
