Publication: The relationship between abundance and specific activity of bacterioplankton in open ocean surface waters
Marine microbial communities are complex and dynamic and their ecology impacts biogeochemical cycles in pelagic ecosystems. Yet little is known about the relative activity of different microbial populations within genetically diverse communities. Here we use rRNA as a proxy for activity to quantify the relative specific activity (rRNA/rDNA) of eubacterial populations and to identify locations…

Publication: Air−Water Fluxes of N2O and CH4 during Microalgae Cultivation 2 (Staurosira sp.) in an Open Raceway Pond
The industrial-scale production of biofuels from cultivated microalgae has gained considerable interest in the last several decades. While the climate benefits of microalgae cultivation that result from the capture of atmospheric CO2 are known, the counteracting effect from the potential emission of other greenhouse gases has not been well quantified. Here, we report the results…

Publication: Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria of coastal regions of the Pacific Ocean
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 from five disparate islands in…
