The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $449,462 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Florida (USF) to study the effects of SUP05 cells and viruses on nitrogen cycling in marine oxygen minimum zones. The project is evaluating how the interactions between SUP05 bacteria and the viruses that infect them impact nitrogen transformations and loss processes in these ocean regions. Through a combination of in situ measurements, DNA/RNA sequencing,...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $296,375 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) for the project "Collaborative Research: The Effects of SUP05 Cells and Virocells on Nitrogen Cycling in Marine Oxygen Minimum Zones." This interdisciplinary study aims to evaluate the role of SUP05 bacterial cells and the viruses that infect them (phages) in regulating nitrogen cycling and loss processes...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is for a collaborative research project that aims to constrain virus loss and investigate the flow of carbon and nitrogen through virovory, or the direct transfer of nutrients and energy up the food web through grazing on virus particles, in temperate marine ecosystems. The $1,153,105 award to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science will fund laboratory incubations and...
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) provides $454,006 to the University of Tennessee over a 3-year period from May 2025 to April 2028. The project aims to quantify the role of viruses in the cycling of organic matter and energy transfer through marine food webs, known as "virovory." Key objectives include constraining virus loss processes, understanding nutrient transfer from different virus types, and evaluating the...
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 $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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $291,764 to North Carolina State University (NC State) aims to study the nitrate utilization loss adaptation in the bacterial phytoplankton Synechococcus, a key driver of the marine carbon cycle. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award (12/1/2024 - 11/30/2026) include: Collecting and culturing new Synechococcus ecotypes from the iron-limited Northeast Subarctic Pacific...
