Kimberly Mohabir Mentor: Susanne Neuer School of Life Sciences Arizona State University Aggregation in Phosphate Limited Versus Replete Cultures of Marine Synechococcus

The Biological Carbon Pump

Background Proterozoic Ocean No eukaryotes present, only prokaryotic primary producers Prokaryotic primary producers thought to be the ancestors of today’s cyanobacteria Use of Synechococcus as a model organism

Objective To determine the difference in aggregation and settling rates between nutrient replete and phosphate limited cultures of Synechococcus

Methods Phosphate limited culture vs. replete culture 3 treatments from each culture 0, 8, and 24 hours of rolling Settling for 8 hours Sinking rates, aggregate abundance, and equivalence spherical diameter (ESD) determined

Results: Aggregate Abundance During Rolling

Results: Settling Experiments Replete CulturePhosphate Limited Culture

Conclusions Large aggregates sink faster Play important role in biological carbon pump Relatively low settling rates small early carbon export in Proterozoic Ocean No difference in aggregation between nutrient limited and replete cultures
