The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $590,658 project grant to Arizona State University (ASU) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on the mechanisms of metal sulfide-enabled growth of anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria. The research team will use transcriptomic sequencing, electron microscopy, and various chemical analysis tools to examine if all transition metal sulfide phases can enable the autotrophic growth of purple sulfur bacteria as sole sulfur and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant awarded to Clemson University for $992,808 on October 1, 2024 aims to elucidate the role of fungal microbiomes in metal tolerance and soil biogeochemical transformations. The goal is to understand how fungal-bacterial interactions affect the transformation and detoxification of metal ions, nanoparticles, and other metal species in the environment. The research will employ advanced analytical techniques to...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $151,952 to Temple University to conduct collaborative research on the transformation of soil minerals in estuarine wetlands. The project will focus on studying how estuarine water chemistry controls the rate and end-products of mineral transformation processes in the New Jersey Meadowlands. The research will involve field studies, laboratory incubations, and...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,250,000 from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports the "Microbe-Mineral Atlas for a Sustainable Energy Future" research project. The project aims to advance the use of biomining, which leverages microorganisms to extract and concentrate critical metals from ores and waste materials, as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional mining. Key objectives include...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by Montana State University to study the biogeochemical and microbial processes involved in the production of sulfate minerals. The $321,593 award from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 will enable researchers to explore how the triple oxygen isotope composition of these minerals can serve as a record of ancient atmospheric conditions and Earth's development....
This $212,317 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to advance the understanding of microbial dispersal and biodiversity in deep-sea seafloor sediments. The lead awardee, Idaho State University, will use thermophilic bacteria as model organisms to investigate how fluid flows, such as from hydrocarbon seeps and hydrothermal vents, can transport viable microbes from the deep biosphere to the seafloor. The research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences has awarded a $448,915 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The grant is funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system.
