  • Proteomic analyses of marine bacteria

    Creator:
    Sowell, Sarah M.
    Abstract:
    Proteins are the metabolic machines of the cell and as such, the study of proteins could illuminate the dominant biological activities that are occurring within cells and reveal how an organism interacts with its environment. Here, we used proteomic techniques to study the abundant marine bacterium SAR11 both as an...

  • Effect of high pressure processing on the survival of Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains in pure culture and Pacific oysters

    Creator:
    Calik, Hakan
    Abstract:
    Different strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) in broth cultures and Vp-inoculated live Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) were subjected to high pressure processing (HPP) at 241, 276, 310, and 345 MPa. Results showed Vp numbers were reduced by HPP in both pure culture and whole oysters. Vp inactivation was dependent on...

  • The proteomic and transcriptomic responses to iron, sulfur, and nitrogen limitation in the abundant marine bacterium Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique

    Creator:
    Smith, Daniel P.
    Abstract:
    Batch cultures of Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique were grown under iron-, organosulfur-, and nitrogen-limiting conditions to understand how this ubiquitous marine bacterium responds to and interacts with environments where growth is limited by the availability of these nutrients. Global gene expression was monitored using microarrays and quantitative mass spectrometry to observe...

  • 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...

  • Marine bacterioplankton abundances and distributions

    Creator:
    Morris, Robert M.
    Abstract:
    Microorganisms play key roles in ocean biogeochemistry. However, several predominant groups of uncultured bacterioplankton thought to contribute to important biogeochemical processes in the oceans are known primarily from gene cloning studies. Although these studies have greatly expanded our view of microbial diversity in the oceans, they are not quantitative and...

  • Conserved properties in the metagenome of a large bacterioplankton population

    Creator:
    Wilhelm, Larry John
    Abstract:
    Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique is the first cultured representative of the SAR11 clade, a clade that is found throughout the oceans and accounts for approximately 25% of all bacterial cells [1]. It has a streamlined genome that is the smallest of any known free-living organism. In this study the complete genome...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Prokaryotes associated with marine crust

    Creator:
    Mason, Olivia Underwood
    Abstract:
    Oceanic crust covers nearly 70% of the Earth's surface, of which, the upper, sediment layer is estimated to harbor substantial microbial biomass. Marine crust; however, extends several kilometers beyond this surficial layer, and includes the basalt and gabbro layers. In particular, the basalt layer has high permeabilities which allows for...

  • Ecology and Environmental Controls of Two Keystone Groups of Oceanic Microorganisms : Diazotrophs and Pathogenic Vibrio

    Creator:
    Gradoville, Mary Rose
    Abstract:
    Marine bacteria play vital roles in every niche of the ocean, from small-scale symbioses to large-scale productivity and the regulation of Earth’s climate. Recent advances in molecular tools now allow us to probe the genetic potential of entire microbial communities. The next step is linking these diverse communities to the...
