Development of Novel Approaches to Target Microbial Drivers of C Cycling in Soil Aggregates
EMSL Project ID
50141
Abstract
This proposal seeks to provide much needed insight into the microbial controls of terrestrial C cycling through the development of a novel research approach that integrates multiple technologies, and scales of study, to identify relationships between C cycling microorganisms and soil biogeochemistry. Coupling breakthrough technologies in cell sorting and high throughput sequencing, we propose to target, identify, and capture foundational organisms and metabolic pathways that drive microbial carbon cycling in agricultural soils.
