RiboTag-Seq: Next Generation in situ microbial physiology – J. Cesar Ignacio Espinoza (USC)
Using Metagenomics to Measure In-Situ Microbial Growth Rates
Growth rates are central to understanding microbial interactions and community dynamics. The Fuhrman Lab, which uses ‘omics data to seek a better understanding of microbial growth, interactions, and biogeographies has been evaluating a promising new approach to simultaneously determine the growth rates of many different kinds of microbes from the within-genome distributions of DNA extracted from in-situ (mixed) ocean populations.

CBIOMES Goes to Ocean Sciences 2020
Look out for members of the CBIOMES team, sharing their work at this year’s Ocean Sciences conference taking place February 16-21 in San Diego, California. Continue reading “CBIOMES Goes to Ocean Sciences 2020”
Germ Warfare Between Bacteria and Viruses at a Standoff
Members of the USC-CBIOMES Group J. Cesar Ignacio-Espinoza, and Jed A. Fuhrman, have found that the endless struggle between viruses and bacteria ends in a stalemate, scientific proof of the evolutionary principle known as the “Red Queen.”

Working in the Dark
Most of the viruses in the ocean are unknown, but scientists are working to fix this information gap. One of the ways to discover viruses is by sampling ocean water from different depths and then looking at those samples to find viral DNA and RNA. In this short video from The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History’s Ocean Portal CBIOMES investigators, Jed Fuhrman and Julio Cesar Ignacio Espinoza talk about their work sampling for viruses in the waters off San Diego in Southern California.
