One facet of her\u00a0research focuses on how the dynamics of nutrient cycling\u2013in particular nitrogenous compounds\u2013influences the structure of microbial populations. Another area of her\u00a0research uses directed genomic and biochemical approaches to address how changes in the environment induce microbial responses that profoundly impact the marine ecosystem, such as the uptake of iron and the production of toxins by diatoms.<\/p>\n<h3>Education<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Ph.D. (2000) University of Oregon, Institute of Molecular Biology<\/li>\n<li>B.A. Mount Holyoke College, MA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associate professor: Cellular and Molecular Biology Phone: 401.874.7551 Email:\u00a0bjenkins@uri.edu Thrust lead 1 Research Bethany Jenkins is\u00a0interested in how the biochemical capabilities of microbial communities influences biogeochemical cycles and food webs in aquatic environments.\u00a0She also studies\u00a0how the biochemical potential of marine microbes relates to their ecological roles\u00a0and addresses this question using a combination of molecular, genomic [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-c-aim-thrust-leads"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/rinsfepscor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/rinsfepscor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/rinsfepscor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/rinsfepscor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/rinsfepscor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/rinsfepscor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15671\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/rinsfepscor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/rinsfepscor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/rinsfepscor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
