Project description:Metaproteomics reveal that rapid perturbations in organic matter inputs stimulate functional restructuring in Western Arctic Ocean microbiomes
Project description:Vast and diverse microbial communities exist within the ocean, performing a variety of metabolic processes that cumulatively influence global chemical cycles. Despite being globally distributed, microbial populations and ocean biochemistry vary across multiple physical scales, beyond our current ability to fully quantify. To better understand the global influence of marine microbiology, we developed a robot capable of sampling ocean biochemistry across basin-scales while still capturing the fine-scale biogeochemical processes therein.
Project description:RNA was extracted from the meninges of mice from either Specific pathogen free or Germ free facilities or from the offspring of mice reconstituted with different human microbiomes.
