This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to investigate symbiotic relationships between marine ciliates, bacteria, and archaea in oxygen-depleted ocean environments. The $401,641 award to the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus will map the diversity of these anaerobic microbial consortia, characterize the cell-to-cell dynamics, and identify factors influencing the structure and adaptations of the symbiotic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $680,707, effective July 15, 2023 through June 30, 2027, supports a collaborative research project titled "INTBIO: Rules for Cell Membranes in the Extremes of the Deep Sea" led by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), a non-profit oceanographic research center. The project aims to uncover the mechanisms underlying how animals specialize for life in the deep ocean, focusing on the cell membranes of deep-sea...
This $599,986 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to determine how coral reef-associated microbes influence ecological processes on coral reefs. The project aims to understand how organic matter released by benthic primary producers on coral reefs selects for specific microbial taxa, and how the metabolism of these core reef microbes facilitates nutrient cycling, calcification, and biodiversity. The research combines...
