This $422,265 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project led by Oregon State University (OSU) to characterize the physiological and environmental cycling of abundant osmolytes in the ocean. The project aims to: 1) identify how different microbial taxa respond to nitrogen stress by producing distinct osmolytes, 2) measure rates of osmolyte assimilation and their metabolic fate, and 3) quantify osmolyte...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to characterize the physiological and environmental cycling of abundant osmolytes, which are small carbon-containing molecules produced by marine microorganisms. The $519,767 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington aims to quantify how environmental conditions, such as nutrient availability and temperature, impact the abundances and cycling rates of these...
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.
