Extracellular chemical cues constitute much of the language of life among marine organisms from microbes to mammals. These chemical cues shape foraging and feeding strategies, symbiotic interactions, selection of mates and habitats, and the transfer of energy and nutrient...

Both marine phytoplankton and terrestrial plants have to deal with limited bioavailability of the key life nutrient, phosphate. In freshwater algae and plants, a phosphate starvation response gene (psr1) has been characterized, which encodes for a transcription factor that regulates the metabolic re...

Phytoplankton are known to release organic compounds that fuel secondary production by heterotrophic bacteria. Here we show that an abundant marine cyanobacterium, Synechococcus elongatus, contributes a variety of nitrogen-rich and sulfur-containing compounds to dissolved organic matter. A combinati...

Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are unique ecosystems that may release chemically distinct dissolved organic matter to the deep ocean. Here, we describe the composition and concentrations of polar dissolved organic compounds observed in low and high temperature hydrothermal vent fluids at 9°50′N on t...

Sponges are efficient filter feeders, removing significant portions of particulate and dissolved organic matter (POM, DOM) from the water column. While the assimilation and respiration of POM and DOM by sponges and their abundant microbial symbiont communities have received much attention, there is ...

Microbial alteration and remineralization of organic matter in the ocean play essential roles in the carbon cycle. The impact of individual compounds as either growth substrates or infochemicals is still poorly constrained in models, particularly for organisms with relatively versatile genomes. Here...

In aquatic environments, the production and consumption of organic compounds is directly tied to the metabolic potential of the in situ microbial community. The community’s metabolic potential can be assessed using metatranscriptomics, which is a measure of gene expression in the environment. More r...

Phosphorus limitation is pervasive in the oligotrophic surface ocean and marine microorganisms use different strategies to survive, and thrive, at these low nutrient levels. Eukaryotic algae such as diatoms are extremely sensitive to phosphorus limitation and recent transcriptomics work has suggeste...

The marine environment holds one of the largest pools of reduced organic carbon on Earth. Within this organic carbon are metabolites produced as a result of microbial activity. This project considers the effects of predation and viral lysis on the metabolites found in the surface ocean. Using seawat...

Metabolites, or the small organic molecules that are synthesized by cells during metabolism, comprise a complex and dynamic pool of carbon in the ocean. They are an essential form of information, linking genotype to phenotype at the individual, population and community levels of biological organi...
