GNPS - Unearthing the active microbes, viruses, and metabolites in dynamic-redox tropical soils with quantitative SIP and metagenomics

This research focuses on changes in the microbial communities of tropical soils during aerobic to anaerobic transitions following wetting. Of particular interest is the natural cycling of the soil microbiome through aerobic and anaerobic metabolism over relative short time periods.

The work (proposal:https://doi.org/10.46936/10.25585/60000880) conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (https://ror.org/04xm1d337), a DOE Office of Science User Facility, is supported by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy operated under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
