- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 will fund a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship to research the adaptive response of bacteria to bacteriophage infection and high hydrostatic pressure. The fellow will develop novel fluorescence microscopy techniques to quantify bacterial growth, cell size, and morphology under these environmental stressors using model organisms E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. piezotolerans. The project...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a Project Grant totaling $690,714 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on the direct measurement of in situ growth and growth limitation of bacterioplankton species in the ocean. The research is funded through the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. The key objective of this...
- This Project Grant award of $100,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research led by the University of Puerto Rico's Research and Development Center to investigate symbiotic relationships between ciliates, bacteria, and archaea in marine oxygen-depleted environments. The study aims to identify the role of these microbial consortia in increasingly prevalent ocean "dead zones" and shed light on their metabolic adaptations and...
- This $325,937 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at Michigan State University (MSU) to interrogate the interconnection of structural and metabolic dynamics of evolutionarily distinct bacterial microcompartments. The project aims to study the impact of geometry and permeability of microcompartments in two distantly related bacteria under varying realistic environments, with the goal of gaining...
- This Project Grant award of $876,272.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund collaborative research to develop advanced genetic manipulation tools for bacteria. The project aims to expand the biotechnological capabilities of marine bacteria called Vibrios, which are important in food production, disease, and host-microbe interactions. The research will focus on scaling up methods to influence the expression of individual bacterial genes...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,968 EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) grant to Portland State University (PSU) for the project "Fertilizing the Tree of Life with Novel Taxa from Deep-Sea Vent Microbial Metagenomes Collected Over Time and Space". The grant supports research to characterize the spatial and temporal genomic diversity of microbes found in deep-sea hydrothermal vents across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. The project will...
