Soil
microbial biodiversity
This
project explores the effect of Yellowstone herbivores on the genetic
diversity of soil bacteria in grasslands of Yellowstone National
Park. It is work being conducted by a graduate student in the lab,
Stacey Massulik, who is co-advised by Dr.
Andria Costello, in the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering at Syracuse University. Stacey is amplifying the 16S
ribosomal RNA gene and using RFLP and T-RFLP to examine the influence
of herbivory on the diversity and composition of soil bacteria.
