The role of deep-sea microorganisms in nutrient cycling in the Southern Ocean [ 2012 - 2014 ]

Research Grant

Researchers Dr Federico Lauro

Brief description This project aims to learn how surface water microbes that are important in global nutrient cycling adapt to life when they sink to the deep sea. This will teach us about the roles that surface water and deep sea microbes play in maintaining the health of marine environments.
