Carbon Sequestration Beneath the Active Zone of the Rhizosphere: Insights from Extremophile Ecosystems

Lead Institution

Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Sherry Cady

To better understand the ultimate fate of carbon sequestered in the subsurface, we are studying carbon sequestration mechanisms in mineralizing extremophile environments. Such ecosystems provide an…

Extracellular Research Thrust for EMSL SSA

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Kirsten Hofmockel

This project will develop a conceptual framework that defines the biotic and abiotic mechanisms regulating the persistence of mineral associated organic matter (OM). The specific goals are to…

Bio-printed microbial habitats for high-throughput, in situ metaphenomics

Lead Institution

Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Jayde Aufrecht

Outside of laboratory cultures microorganisms live in micro-structured environments which provide non-competitive spatial niches critical to maintaining genotypic and phenotypic diversity in the…
