This $408,738 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate the effects of SUP05 bacterial cells and the viruses that infect them (phages) on nitrogen cycling in marine oxygen minimum zones. The project is led by the University of Washington, and aims to detail the combined impact of SUP05 cells and their associated phages on nitrogen transformation and loss processes in these ocean regions. Through a combination of field measurements, DNA/RNA sequencing, and laboratory experiments, the research team will evaluate the metabolic activities of SUP05 cells and the underlying nitrogen cycling they mediate. The findings will fill critical knowledge gaps on the role of SUP05 cells and phages in regulating marine nitrogen budgets. The award also provides graduate and undergraduate students with hands-on research opportunities, and includes outreach to K-12 students to educate them on ocean oxygen minimum zones, nitrogen cycling, and viral infection. The project period runs from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027.
