Metabolism of one carbon (C1) and methylated compounds in SAR11 bacteria

Creator:

Sun, Jing

Abstract:

SAR11 Alphaproteobacteria are the most abundant aerobic chemoheterotrophs in ocean surface waters. Previous studies have indicated SAR11 cells play an important role in marine carbon cycling and consume up to half of some common dissolved organic compounds, such as amino acids. During sequencing of the first SAR11 genome, genes for...

Dissertation
Remineralization of marine particulate organic matter

Creator:

Burkhardt, Brian Gary

Abstract:

Marine microorganisms play a significant role in the cycling of nutrients in the open ocean through production, consumption, and degradation of organic matter (OM). Carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are essential ingredients in every known recipe for life. However, the cycling of each of these elements proceeds at...

Masters Thesis
Method report for total organic carbon measurements GEOSECS

Creator:

Gordon, Louis Irwin, 1928-, Barstow, L., Lilley, M., Seifert, E. A., and Park, P. K.

Abstract:

The analytical method employed for the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) project in the Geochemical Ocean Sections Study (GEOSECS) is described in detail. The method generally follows that of Menzel and Vaccaro as modified by several subsequent workers including the GEOSECS group at Oregon State University which carried out the TOC...
