Marine Microbial Proteomics

海洋微生物是海洋食物网的基础，在海洋应对气候变化方面发挥着关键作用。尽管如此，关于什么控制海洋微生物的活动仍然存在许多未解之谜。这项研究计划将开发新的方法来测量和预测海洋中的微生物活动。这些新的测量和预测将提高我们对控制海洋微生物活动的因素以及这种活动在未来海洋中可能如何变化的理解。特别是，该计划将在了解海洋微生物关系方面取得重大进展，特别是那些涉及共享和竞争稀缺资源的微生物关系。

Marine microbes form the base of marine food webs and play critical roles in the ocean¿s response to climate change. Despite this, many unanswered questions about what controls activity of marine microbes remain. This research program will develop new ways to measure and predict microbial activity in the ocean. These new measurements and predictions will improve our understanding of what controls marine microbial activity and how that may change in the future ocean. In particular, this program will make significant progress towards understanding microbial relationships in the ocean, especially those that involve sharing and competing for scarce resources.
