Principal Investigator

Kirsten Hofmockel

Project type

Exploratory Research

Current estimates suggest that soils contain 1.5 x 10^12 tons of carbon, or roughly three times more carbon than the atmosphere, and represent a giant reservoir for potential greenhouse gas emission…

Automating Microbial Community Phenotyping within Synthetic Soil Aggregates

Lead Institution

Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Jayde Aufrecht

Microbial hotspots are the sites of nearly all biogeochemical transformations (BGT) in the soil. Unfortunately, the small size (µm to mm) and transient existence (hours to days) of microbial…
