The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $724,056 to the University of Arizona under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) beginning September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029, to conduct collaborative research on phosphorus-driven metabolic switching in marine mixoplankton. This project delivers scientific research services investigating how nutrient availability, specifically phosphorus limitation, affects the metabolic balance between photosynthesis and heterotrophic prey consumption in mixoplankton—microscopic marine organisms critical to ocean nutrient cycling and marine food web productivity. The research integrates radio tracer experiments, transcriptomic analyses, and cellular and biochemical methodologies to test the hypothesis that phosphorus limitation triggers coordinated metabolic shifts from autotrophic to heterotrophic pathways in prasinophytes and other marine protists. Beyond core research deliverables, the project generates educational and scientific literacy products including training programs for next-generation marine scientists, development of hands-on educational resources for students, teachers, and the public, and data products that advance predictive modeling capabilities for marine ecosystem function. The research directly supports national priorities in fundamental ocean science by advancing understanding of microorganisms that underpin productive marine ecosystems and by enhancing the scientific knowledge base needed to inform fisheries management and ocean resource sustainability. Performance takes place in Tucson, Arizona, at the University of Arizona, operating as the Arizona Board of Regents.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
