Project Goals:

  • Evaluate the strength and consistency of bacterial associations within the coccolithophore phycosphere.
  • Determine the nature of interactions between coccolithophores and their associated bacterial communities.
  • Assess how the microbial communities within the coccolithophore phycosphere influence seawater CO2 chemistry.
