Integration of oceanographic information off the Washington and Oregon coasts into west coast groundfish ecology and fisheries management

Creator:: Juan Jorda, Maria Jose
Abstract:: To date, the use of oceanographic data in fisheries management has been limited by the scarcity and the difficulty of accessing complete oceanographic datasets. Consequently, fish stocks are managed with limited knowledge about the habitat where fish live and incomplete understanding of what oceanographic conditions affect their populations. With the...

Transcriptome profiling of Nitrosomonas europaea grown singly and in co-culture with Nitrobacter winogradskyi

Creator:: Pérez, José
Abstract:: In most environments, ammonia (NH₃) is oxidized to nitrate (NO₃⁻) via the intermediate nitrite (NO₂⁻). This is a microbe-driven process involving phylogenetically distinct types of microorganisms, namely, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and Thaumarchaea (AOA), and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). Nitrosomonas europaea and Nitrobacter winogradskyi are the best studied AOB and NOB, respectively,...
