- This $493,073 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on the evolutionary processes that enable a genus of ciliates known as Mesodinium to acquire and maintain phototrophy through organelle sequestration. The 3-year project will use comparative cellular, metabolic, and genetic analyses to understand the adaptations that allow some Mesodinium species to...
- This three-year, $536,104 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating the relationship between cell size and nutrient acquisition modes in mixotrophic protists. The awardee, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, will conduct incubation experiments on eight mixotrophic species to measure the proportion of carbon obtained from photosynthesis and ingestion across environmental conditions. Using isotopic labeling methods, the...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $396,577.00 and spanning from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The project aims to advance fundamental knowledge about the evolutionary patterns and functional roles of two abundant yet largely unstudied lineages of bacteria: Patescibacteria and Chloroflexota. The research will leverage new single-cell and metagenomic technologies to...
- This $602,244 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to study how diverse marine phytoplankton species respond to differences in nutrient availability across the global ocean. The research aims to develop novel genomic tools to diagnose the nutritional state of phytoplankton communities and map nutrient stress patterns, with the goal of improving scientific...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to characterize the regulatory mechanisms controlling changes in the photosynthetic light harvesting antennae of the phytoplankton Synechococcus spp. The $1,100,000 award, effective from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2028, aims to define the novel Type 4 Chromatic Acclimation (CA4) system, which allows these photosynthetic marine organisms to sense and respond...
- This $472,597 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on the photophysiology and bio-optics of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems in the Red Sea. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research will employ an interdisciplinary approach including fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and advanced imaging to establish the light-harvesting properties of corals thriving at depths with extremely limited light availability. Specifically, the team will collect and...
- 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 (NSF) awarded a $626,831 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) to conduct collaborative research on the molecular mechanisms behind how certain bacteria use light-sensing proteins called phytochromes to regulate essential developmental processes. The project aims to use advanced structural biology techniques like cryo-electron microscopy and time-resolved X-ray crystallography to study...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will investigate the photochemical breakdown of marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) and its impact on the global carbon cycle. The $683,778 award, valid from July 2023 to June 2026, will focus on studying the production rates and quantum yields of one and two-carbon photoproducts, such as carbon monoxide, dissolved inorganic carbon, formaldehyde, and...
- This $401,641 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will investigate consortia of symbiotic ciliates, bacteria, and archaea from diverse tropical marine, but oxygen-depleted, sediments. The project aims to identify the role of these organisms in these ecosystems and shed light on the nature and evolution of these interactions. The work will generate a collection of cultures available to other researchers and a...
