Biofouling invertebrates and their larvae as vectors of antimicrobial resistance and marine pathogens

该项目将基于最先进的宏基因组学方法。设施和专业知识，生物污损和海洋病原体将提供工业合作伙伴的情况下PML应用有限公司的学生将开发一系列的研究技能，从浮游生物样本的现场收集细菌培养，荧光原位杂交（FISH），扩增子和宏基因组测序和分析与NU-OMICs（诺森比亚大学）。他们还将有机会在一系列定制实验室以及该领域发展经验，为他们未来的分子生态学研究提供坚实的基础。

The project will be based on cutting-edge metagenomics approaches. Facilities and expertise in biofouling and marine pathogens will be provided by industrial CASE Partner PML Applications Ltd.The student will develop a range of research skills from field-collection of plankton samples to bacterial culture, fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), amplicon and metagenomic sequencing and analysis with NU-OMICs (Northumbria University). They will also have the opportunity to develop experience in a range of bespoke laboratories as well as in the field, providing a strong base for their future research in molecular ecology.
