Project description:In this study we used metaproteomics to discern the metabolism and physiology of the microorganisms occurring in the phototrophic mats of four soda lakes in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. Binned and assembled metagenomes were used as the database for protein identification.
Project description:Characterizing a common cellular stress response (CSR) to high water temperature across species and populations is necessary for identifying the capacity of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) to persist in current and future climate warming scenarios, especially for populations at the southern periphery of their species' distributions. In this study, populations of wild adult pink (O. gorbuscha) and sockeye (O. nerka) salmon from the Fraser River, British Columbia, Canada, were experimentally treated to an ecologically relevant 'cool' or 'warm' water temperature to uncover common transcriptomic responses to elevated water temperature.
