Funded Activity Summary

Microbial buffering: protecting the Great Barrier Reef against anthropogenic impacts. Coral reefs are hotspots of diversity, but are susceptible to human activities such as agriculture and tourism. Novel molecular approaches will be used to characterise what microorganisms are found at polluted and non-polluted sites of the Great Barrier Reef lagoon and what metabolic pathways they use to protect it against human impacts.
