This grant is for a CESU-affiliated partner to conduct research utilizing advanced ‘omics methods, including phylogenetics, metagenomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics. The primary purpose is to thoroughly investigate the mechanisms and processes that influence cyanotoxin production, which are crucial for developing effective mitigation and prevention strategies against Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) nationwide. Understanding the drivers and control mechanisms of algal toxin production is vital. The funding aims to leverage cutting-edge ‘omics tools to enhance comprehension of HABs dynamics, characterize cyanobacteria and algal species, identify genes responsible for toxin production, and study the evolution of these organisms and their metabolic pathways. This research will contribute significantly to national HABs management.

Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Great Lakes-Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. |
Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in phylogenetics, metagenomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics to inform mechanisms and processes that influence cyanotoxin production. Understanding the drivers and control mechanisms for algal toxin production is critical to developing new mitigation and prevention approaches of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) across the nation. Advances in the ‘omics methods have provided a suite of tools that can be used to enhance the understanding of HABs and toxin production dynamics. These tools can be used to characterize and study cyanobacteria and algal species, genes responsible for toxin production, and evolution of organisms and metabolic pathways. |
