Title : Know Your Tharustochytrids: Marine Microbes Behind Omega-3 Health Supplements, Quahog Losses, and New Ocean Viruses

 

Abstract: Compared to some better-known marine microbes like diatoms and dinoflangellates, thraustochytrids are usually little-noticed contributors to ocean food webs. This talk will explore how thraustochytrids grab attention when associated with outbeaks of marine diseases, as major biotech producers of essential fatty acids, and for haroring a new-to-science group of viruses in their genomes.

Title : Exploring the Marine Microcosmos with Advanced Single-Cell Imaging Approaches

Abstract: This talk will introduce approaches being developed at SoMAS to interrogate conditions and activities of individual cells and viruses. I will introduce our primary analytical tools, Raman Microspectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy. Come find out what they’re all about {no previous experience necessary!} We will explore how these tools can be used to measure growth rates, micro-predator feeding rates, viral infection, and nutrient status of single cells as well as map biochemical distributions in 4 dimensions.
