Interactions of Phaeobacter inhibens DSM 17395 and metaproteomics of Roseobacter-dominated bacterial communities (C01)

• Subject Area: Metabolism, Biochemistry and Genetics of Microorganisms
• Term: from 2010 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 34509606

This project will study i) interactions of P. inhibens with copiotrophic competitors. Physiological experiments will mainly be conducted using process-controlled bioreactors to acquire quantitative data for determination of growth efficiency; ii) metaproteomic analysis of samples from the cruises in the Pacific. Research foci will be on diurnal dynamics of the bacterioplankton at the equator vs. the Polar Front Region, a comprehensive survey of the pelagic and benthic prokaryotic communities, and on the embedment of functional metaOMICS in biogeographic/-chemical frameworks.
