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...
This National Science Foundation Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $650,992 to North Carolina State University supports research to assess the role of marine bacteria and viruses in producing and cycling vitamin B1 and related compounds in the surface ocean. The 3-year project will conduct laboratory experiments to estimate the fluxes of these vital compounds from key bacterial groups and the impacts of temperature changes, which are critical for understanding plankton...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a $824,656 research initiative to investigate the impact of iron availability on heterotrophic bacterial carbon consumption in the mesopelagic, or "twilight zone", of the ocean between 150-600 meters deep. The project aims to improve the mechanistic understanding of how iron status affects the ability of these bacteria to consume organic carbon, and the reasons for...
This $400,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to model the complex dynamics of viruses and bacteria in ancient ocean-like environments. The project aims to identify "keystone" viruses that significantly influence microbial community structure and biogeochemistry in these stable, oxygen-free lake ecosystems. The research will develop innovative mathematical methods to predict...
