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...

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...

Masters Thesis
Dynamics of organic matter production and degradation during coastal diatom blooms

Creator:

Wetz, Michael S.

Abstract:

Experiments were designed to answer key questions about diatom-derived organic matter cycling (i.e., production and degradation) in coastal systems. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) production was examined in axenic batch cultures of five diatom species. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release rates varied between species, but were significantly higher for all species...
