چکیده
LH: Can you give me an example of a student project in the senior course? GA: One example is a study of how much phytoplankton biomass is produced under a particular set of circumstances, i.e., depth, temperature, or pressure. The students spend time in lab over spring break learning the techniques for chlorophyll extraction as a biomass indicator, and learning DOI: 10.1187/cbe.10–06–0074 Address correspondence to: Laura L.

متن کاملAnalysis of Diatom Blooms Using DNA Fingerprints
The premise that guides my research is that phytoplankton community dynamics reflect a complicated interaction between environmental variability and the inherent genetic and physiological variation present within individual species of phytoplankton. My goal is to determine how genetic and physiological diversity is maintained within individual species of diatoms and how this diversity is shaped...

متن کاملBuilding an OptIPlanet collaboratory to support microbial metagenomics
We describe early experiments in the adoption of the OptIPuter architecture to provide data-intensive capabilities to several remote users of a large-scale, multi-year effort to organize and make publicly available data describing a wide variety of marine microbial ecologies, their genomic content, and the local environments in which they live—marine microbial metagenomics. Microbial genomes ar...
متن کاملGenetic structure of the mating-type locus of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Portions of the cloned mating-type (MT) loci (mt(+) and mt(-)) of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, defined as the approximately 1-Mb domains of linkage group VI that are under recombinational suppression, were subjected to Northern analysis to elucidate their coding capacity. The four central rearranged segments of the loci were found to contain both housekeeping genes (expressed during several life-...
