Purpose
This grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology supports the research of Dr. DeLong into the genetic diversity of planktonic marine bacteria and archaea. Outcomes for this grant include characterization of the genomes and genomic variability of dominant planktonic bacteria and archaea, integration of biogeochemical and genomic evolutionary theories, creation of a metabolic and biogeochemical model of microbe communities, and the tracking of microbe populations by DNA.
