Arsenic methylation by marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus

Creator:: Lee, Mikaela
Abstract:: Our experiments aimed to investigate responses of the marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus to toxic arsenic species, such as arsenate, and to understand cellular mechanisms that contribute to arsenic tolerance. We used two strains of Prochlorococcus, a high-light adapted MED4 and low-light adapted MIT9313, both axenic, for cultivation experiments. For...

Quantification of Osmolytes in the Sargasso Sea Surface Layer Water Column

Creator:: Muslin, Omran
Abstract:: Oceanic carbon cycling plays a major role in determining global atmospheric CO₂. A better understanding of dissolved organic matter and its constituents in the water column and how it affects marine carbon cycling is sought after. This study successfully measured osmolytes, low molecular zwitterionic compounds derived from amino acids, in...

Single-Cell Genomics of Uncultivated Marine Bacteria

Creator:: Landry, Zachary
Abstract:: Historically, the difficulty of obtaining pure cultures of abundant marine microbial plankton has an obstacle to reconstructing the underlying mechanisms of biogeochemistry in the ocean. While a number of dominant marine species from the ocean surface have been cultured, the dominant microbial plankton of the dark ocean proved far more...

Disturbances in a marine bacterioplankton system drive community assembly towards niche-based processes

Creator:: Vergin, Kevin L.
Abstract:: Over 100 monthly bacterioplankton DNA samples, from each of the surface and 200 m depths at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site, were analyzed for community assembly processes. Correlation networks, filtered for potential autocorrelation artifacts, were constructed for each depth. Network characteristics for the two depths were remarkably similar...

Genome-enabled investigation of the minimal growth requirements andphosphate metabolism for Pelagibacter marine bacteria

Creator:: Carini, Paul J.
Abstract:: Members of the SAR11 clade of heterotrophic α-proteobacteria are ubiquitous and abundant in the world's oceans where they are thought to play a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle. The first SAR11 bacterium cultivated in vitro, 'Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique' HTCC1062 (Ca. P. ubique), was isolated by dilution into sterile...

An analysis of Sargasso Sea bacterioplankton diversity using 16S ribosomal RNA

Creator:: Britschgi, Theresa Baden
Abstract:: The objective of this project was to use ribosomal RNA genes, cloned from natural populations of Sargasso Sea bacterioplankton, as markers for picoplankton diversity. It is widely recognised that a majority of microorganisms have yet to be cultivated, and therefore much of extant microbial diversity remains unknown (50). The method...

Phylogenetic characterization of the epibiotic bacteria associated with the hydrothermal vent polychaete Alvinella pompejana

Creator:: Haddad, Michael Alexander
Abstract:: Symbiotic relationships of bacteria with higher organisms are commonly observed in nature; however, the functional role of these relationships is only rarely understood. This is particularly evident in epibiotic bacterial associations in the marine environment where the bacteria are often a diverse ensemble of microorganisms, thus complicating the identification of...

Culturing uncultured environmental microorganisms

Creator:: Connon, Stephanie A.
Abstract:: Research on natural environments, over the last decade, is replete with microbial diversity studies that used culture-independent approaches. The cloning and sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes has been the driving force in the expansion of awareness about the great diversity of previously undiscovered microorganisms. Well-known uncultured groups of microorganisms...

Characterization of novel marine oligotrophic bacteria isolated from the Pacific Ocean : description of Marinivirgula fluito gen. nov., sp. nov., Marinivirgula obesa gen. nov., sp. nov. and Litincola parvulus gen. nov., sp. nov.

Creator:: Shin, Eun Jung
Abstract:: A new high-throughput culturing (HTC) method using a low nutrient heterotrophic medium (LNHM) has led to the isolation of many novel strains of oligotrophic bacteria from marine ecosystems. Four strains belonging to a single dade, HTCC2151, HTCC218OT, HTCC2178T and HTCC2188T, were isolated from the coast of Oregon by the HTC...

Microbial diversity, metabolic potential, and transcriptional activity along the inner continental shelf of the Northeast Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Bertagnolli, Anthony D.
Abstract:: Continental shelves located along eastern boundary currents occupy relatively small volumes of the world’s oceans, yet are responsible for a large proportion of global primary production. The Oregon coast is among these ecosystems. Recent analyses of dissolved oxygen at shallow depths in the water column has suggested increasing episodes of...
