The University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) received a $765,540 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate how the spatial arrangement of microbial cells affects the ecosystem process of denitrification. The research will use evolutionary algorithms and 3D printing to construct and analyze pre-defined spatial communities of bacteria capable of performing different steps of the denitrification pathway. The goal is to advance the understanding of how microbial community spatial structure influences function, stability, and division of labor. This research has potential applications in improving soil and wastewater treatment. The award also supports interdisciplinary mentorship for diverse groups of students and science education and outreach activities.
