Impact of taxonomic and genetic diversity on dissolved organic carbon uptake by bacterial communities

Major Goals and Objectives

  • Determine how Lake Michigan microbial communities compare between near- to offshore sites and sites experiencing different nutrient inputs
  • Evaluate which organisms are breaking down and assimilating various dissolved organic matter sources
  • Determine how the response to a dissolved organic matter pulse is transmitted through the community over time
