项目摘要

This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Microbial production and consumption of organic carbon play critical roles in the marine food web and global carbon cycling. Bacteria release organic matter in a variety of chemical forms and in diverse contexts, ranging from individual molecules to small aggregates and larger biological particles. In recent years we have come to understand that most, if not all, marine microbes release nanoscale structures called extracellular vesicles from their surfaces. These discrete particles, which are abundant in the oceans, are capable of transporting multiple classes of organic molecules between organisms and can serve as a potential nutrient source for other microbes. Extracellular vesicles thus represent a potentially important component of marine microbial food webs, but the magnitude and dynamics of this contribution are unknown. Further, the packaging of material within vesicles may influence the accessibility of this organic material as compared with truly ‘dissolved’ substances to different groups of marine organisms, potentially biasing nutrient exchanges. Broader impacts of this work is providing hands-on research experiences for female undergraduate students - including those from groups historically underrepresented in STEM fields - and training in data analysis tools.The goal of this project is to advance the understanding of the role that extracellular vesicles play in marine dissolved organic carbon pools and microbial food webs. To determine the contribution of vesicles to organic matter release by marine microbes, the investigators are quantifying the fraction of excreted carbon and nitrogen associated with vesicles released by multiple marine cyanobacteria and heterotrophs. The project is examining how vesicles are ‘consumed’ by heterotrophs to calculate a mass balance of vesicle utilization and produce detailed gene expression data to explore how cells respond to the presence of vesicles. Finally, experiments with coastal and oligotrophic marine communities are providing insights into which organisms utilize vesicles in the field, and whether they are broadly accessible to all microbes or are instead preferentially consumed by a subset of microbes. Collectively, these experiments are opening up a new area of research into the mechanisms underlying the microbial loop and provide foundational insights into the roles of extracellular vesicles in ocean ecosystems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
该奖项全部或部分由2021年美国救援计划法案(公法117-2)资助。微生物的生产和有机碳的消耗在海洋食物网和全球碳循环中发挥着关键作用。细菌以各种化学形式和不同的环境释放有机物质,从单个分子到小的聚集体和较大的生物颗粒。近年来,我们逐渐了解到,大多数(如果不是全部的话)海洋微生物从其表面释放出称为细胞外囊泡的纳米级结构。这些分散的颗粒在海洋中大量存在,能够在生物体之间运输多种类型的有机分子,并可以作为其他微生物的潜在营养源。因此,胞外囊泡代表了海洋微生物食物网的一个潜在的重要组成部分,但这种贡献的大小和动态是未知的。此外,囊泡内物质的包装可能会影响这种有机物质与真正“溶解”的物质相比对不同海洋生物群体的可及性,从而可能使营养交换发生偏差。这项工作的更广泛影响是为女本科生提供实践研究经验-包括那些来自STEM领域历史上代表性不足的群体-并培训数据分析工具。该项目的目标是促进对细胞外囊泡在海洋溶解有机碳库和微生物食物网中所起作用的理解。为了确定囊泡对海洋微生物释放有机物的贡献,研究人员正在量化与多种海洋蓝藻和异养生物释放的囊泡相关的排泄碳和氮的比例。该项目正在研究囊泡如何被异养生物“消耗”,以计算囊泡利用的质量平衡,并产生详细的基因表达数据,以探索细胞如何对囊泡的存在作出反应。最后,对沿海和贫营养海洋群落的实验提供了关于哪些生物在该领域利用囊泡的见解,以及它们是否广泛地被所有微生物所利用,还是被一部分微生物优先消耗。总的来说,这些实验为微生物循环的机制开辟了一个新的研究领域,并为细胞外囊泡在海洋生态系统中的作用提供了基础性的见解。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
