GEMS Education Curriculum Development and Professional Learning
Core ProjectThe GEMS education and outreach team studies the impact of their efforts through various research projects, which occur during professional development experiences and in teachers’ classrooms.
-
Multi-scale structure of natural variation in Streptomyces in rhizophere of long-term nitrogen addition experiment
Core ProjectIsabelle Lakis studies how long-term nitrogen addition affects Streptomyces populations in the rhizosphere. They aim to understand community dynamics and variation in pangenomic elements.
-
Plasmid population biology across environments in Rhizobium leguminosarum
Core ProjectSierra Bedwell studies how changes in Rhizobium plasmid dynamics affect legume-rhizobia mutualism decline due to nitrogen fertilization, using soil and nodule samples.
-
Untangling multiple ecological drivers of rhizobium evolution under nitrogen enrichment
Core ProjectMackenzie Caple and collaborators study how nitrogen enrichment, light, and legume density affect rhizobium evolution. They examine if rhizobium quality recovers after stopping nitrogen addition.
-
Crimson and clover, over and over: Methylobacterium and trifolium hybridum
Seed ProjectThis study examines how long-term nitrogen fertilization impacts Methylobacterium diversity in clover, exploring eco-evolutionary effects on plant-microbe interactions in agricultural settings.
-
Eco-evolution of Streptomyces in the rhizosphere
Seed ProjectThis study explores how long-term nitrogen addition affects the population structure and dynamics of Streptomyces in the rhizosphere, examining its impact on microbial interactions and plant health.
