Funded Activity Summary

Can cyanobacteria use organic nutrients to thrive in future oceans? Marine cyanobacteria are central to regulating the global climate and underpin entire marine food webs. Though they possess genes necessary to uptake diverse organic nutrients, we know very little about whether and how organic nutrients shape the physiology and ecology of cyanobacteria. Using our innovative high-throughput approach, this project aims to systematically characterise organic nutrient uptake in picocyanobacteria. Our molecules-to-ecosystems approach expects to transform our understanding of alternate nutrient acquisition in cyanobacteria and how it may shape populations of these important photosynthetic organisms in a rapidly-changing ocean landscape.
