| Notes | “Marine bacteria play vital roles in every niche of the ocean, from small-scale symbioses to large-scale productivity and the regulation of Earth’s climate. Recent advances in molecular tools now allow us to probe the genetic potential of entire microbial communities. The next step is linking these diverse communities to the critical functions they perform, in order to better understand how microbes regulate biogeochemical processes and predict how these processes may change as humans continue to alter the physical and chemical properties of the oceans” (from the Abstract) Two chapters are concerned with nitrogen-releasing diazotroph bacteria, while the final chapter addresses infectious Vibrio populations in Netarts and Yaquina Bays. The research points out vulnerability of Pacific Northwest hatcheries to a particular species of Vibrio. Includes a separate file of supplementary material. Major professor was Angelicque E. White. |
