DESCRIPTION:Dr. Cameron Thrash (Louisiana State University)\n\nTales from a
  coastal bacterioplankton safari\n\nEach milliliter of seawater contains m
 illions of microbial cells which are responsible for the bulk of biogeoche
 mical cycling in the oceans. Coastal regions have even higher concentratio
 ns of these bacterioplankton compared to the open ocean\, and contribute d
 isproportionately to important transformations of carbon and other element
 s. Determining the functions of specific microbial taxa\, and the feedback
 s between these organisms and environmental factors like salinity and temp
 erature\, is challenging due to their size and the complex communities the
 y inhabit. This talk will describe research in our lab to define microbial
  roles in the coastal northern Gulf of Mexico\, including the seasonally o
 xygen-depleted waters of the “Dead Zone.” I will discuss how we have r
 econstructed metabolism for numerous uncultivated taxa in hypoxic waters\,
  and how high-throughput cultivation success has lead to novel information
  on the ecology and evolution of some of the most abundant coastal bacteri
 oplankton. Finally\, I will outline future efforts that leverage our findi
 ngs\, and new cultivars\, to provide a deeper understanding of microbial f
 unctions and interactions in productive\, and heavily impacted\, coastal e
 nvironments.
