1 Joseph Murray Mentor: Dr. Ariel Anbar
Carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of hot spring biofilms from Yellowstone National Park Joseph Murray Mentor: Dr. Ariel Anbar Title page

2 Astrobiology at Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone abounds with diverse hydrothermal ecosystems Provides an excellent opportunity to observe many unique organisms living in extreme habitats Unique chance to search for variations in the elemental requirements for life Biological Stoichiometry yellowstone Jeff Havig, Ph.D. Candidate

3 Isotope fractionation
What is a bioflim? H2O 12C 14N 12C 15N Nutrients Biofilms and isotope fractionation Isotope fractionation

4 Bison Pool 93º C 67º C 50º C Source Flow Direction High Temperature
Intro to Bison Pool Low Temperature 93º C 67º C 50º C “Photosynthetic Fringe”

5 Carbon Cycling In Bison Pool: 2005-2006
This plot shows the D13C (fractionation from DIC) values for biofilms from ‘Bison Pool’ collected in 2005 and The lines and arrows are put in place only as estimates of averages and to help illustrate the assumed trend in fractionation. Bison Pool C story (J. Havig, in prep.)

6 Carbon Cycling In Bison Pool: 2005-2007
Bison Pool w/ 2007 Data 2007 Biofilm (J. Havig, in prep.) This plot shows the D13C (fractionation from DIC) values for biofilms from ‘Bison Pool’ collected in 2005, 2006 and The lines and arrows are put in place only as estimates of averages and to help illustrate the assumed trend in fractionation.
