VesicleDOM

Characterizing the response of oligotrophic microbial communities to added dissolved organic carbon/nitrogen in the form of extracellular vesicles produced by marine picocyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria. This work will involve shipboard incubation experiments of water collected from multiple depths (ideally 5m and ~500m), with each depth sampled at both day and night. Samples will be collected for community nucleic acids and dissolved organic carbon/nitrogen measurements.
