The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $417,009 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). This 2-year grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2025, will further the development of genetic manipulation techniques for the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. Prochlorococcus is the most abundant photosynthetic organism in the ocean, contributing nearly...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded $550,000 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to support the project "EDGE FGT: Genetic Tools for Prochlorococcus That Dominate the Oceans" from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2023. The project aims to develop genetic tools to study Prochlorococcus, a genus of photosynthetic bacteria that are abundant in oceans worldwide. A sub-award...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $642,399 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Trustees of Boston University. The grant supports research to understand the process of cell death in the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus, a globally abundant microbe critical to ocean biogeochemistry. The project aims to examine the interplay between cellular metabolism and cell death, as well as the fate of cellular biomass after death and how interactions with...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $701,884 to The Regents of the University of Colorado to develop a functional genomics tool kit for the filamentous cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme. The key products and services to be delivered include construction of a random barcode transposon-site sequencing library, generation of CRISPR tools for gene deletion and cargo DNA integration, and implementation of proximity...
This $916,578 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to expand understanding of iron adaptation in marine phytoplankton across global oceans. The key objectives are to: Characterize iron storage capacities and limitation thresholds for 20 Synechococcus phytoplankton strains from 11 ecotypes across a range of ocean iron niches. Analyze gene regulation responses to varying iron availability for the 20...
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was awarded a three-year, $595,865 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research titled "Features and Implications of Nitrogen Assimilation Trait Variability in Populations of Prochlorococcus." Through this funding, MIT researchers will strengthen the understanding of the integrated Earth system by supporting basic research into the atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $1.6 million to support research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from August 2021 through July 2024. The grant funds the development of new molecular genetic tools by the J. Craig Venter Institute to define phenotypes in the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia, which can cause harmful algal blooms. Two subawards totaling $100,000 each were provided to the University of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a Project Grant totaling $690,714 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on the direct measurement of in situ growth and growth limitation of bacterioplankton species in the ocean. The research is funded through the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. The key objective of this...
This three-year, $623,934 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the physiological controls of trait expression, nutrient allocation, and elemental stoichiometry in the phytoplankton Synechococcus. The awardee, University of California Irvine, will conduct continuous culture experiments with common phytoplankton strains under varying nutrient supply ratios, temperature, and growth conditions. Biochemical...
This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
