Zackary Johnson and Yajuan Lin both presented in the Biodiversity session organized by ZIJ and collaborator Maureen Coleman from the University of Chicago at the bi-annual Ocean Sciences meeting held in Salt Lake City, Utah. The title of Yajuan’s talk was ‘Estimating the growth rate and biogeochemistry of genetically diverse […]
Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic (AAP) bacteria are photoheterotrophic microbes that are found in a broad range of aquatic environments. Although potentially significant to the microbial ecology and biogeochemistry of marine ecosystems, their abundance, genetic diversity and the environmental variables that regulate these properties are poorly understood. Using samples along nearshore/offshore transects […]
