Project Description<\/h3>\n

The microzooplankton, Oxyrrhis marina<\/em>, will serve as a model for the development of an in situ living biosensor for Narragansett Bay. As a tightly integrated and naturally occurring component of the Narragansett Bay ecosystem and given the extent of scientific literature on the ecology of the organism, O. marina<\/em> is ideally suited to serve as a model protist. Changes to surface glycan composition in other biological systems have been demonstrated in response to disease and stress conditions. We will develop technology to read out these glycan \u201cbarcode\u201d biomarkers of health\u2014a vital step given their resistance to analysis by conventional means let alone in real-time. This will create a sophisticated environmental analog of early disease diagnosis by biomarker detection and reveal more insight\u2014to the molecular level\u2014than can be had by population number tracking. There is broad environmental significance, e.g. from the level of nutrient and carbon availability to organismal and food network health, as well as for downstream economic and even biomedical outcomes.<\/p>\n
