This project aims to explore the role of quorum sensing in marine bacteria and its impact on the degradation of particulate organic carbon in the ocean. The research will utilize advanced techniques to understand how bacterial communication affects carbon cycling.
The ocean is by far the largest reservoir for carbon dioxide (CO2) on Earth and represents a driving force for climate mitigation.
Through photosynthesis, active marine microorganisms (e.g. phytoplankton) convert atmospheric CO2 into biomass, where the majority of it is cycled in the surface waters by diverse processes including bacterial respiration and hydrolysis.
Some of this biomass is exported as particulate organic carbon (POC) into the deep ocean, where bacterial cells play a critical rol…
