Genomic Approach to Study the Role of Bacterioplankton in the Sulfur Cycle
Category
FP7 Project with U.S. partner
Short name and number
GenS (219811)
Area
Environment including Climate change
Description
This proposal aims at using environmental functional genomic tools to expand knowledge of bacterial roles in organic sulfur cycling in ocean surface waters, focusing particularly on biological controls of volatile sulfur exchange across the ocean/atmosphere boundary and links between microbial community structure and cycling of relevant organic sulfur compounds.
Participating Countries
Spain and United States.
