Investigating the relationship between microbial network features of giant kelp “seedbank” cultures and subsequent farm performance Open
Microbial inoculants can increase the yield of cultivated crops and are successful in independent trials; however, efficacy drops in large-scale applications due to insufficient consideration of microbial community dynamics. The structure …

Natural variation of <i>Macrocystis pyrifera</i> gametophyte germplasm culture microbiomes and applications for improving yield in offshore farms Open
With national interest in seaweed‐based biofuels as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, there is a need for tools that produce high‐yield seaweed cultivars and increase the efficiency of offshore farms. Several agricultural studies …

Zeta diversity patterns in metabarcoded lotic algal assemblages as a tool for bioassessment Open
Assessments of the ecological health of algal assemblages in streams typically focus on measures of their local diversity and classify individuals by morphotaxonomy. Such assemblages are often connected through various ecological processes…

Removal of Toxic Volatile Compounds in Batch Culture Prolongs Stationary Phase and Delays Death of Escherichia coli Open
Bacteria, such as Escherichia coli , are routinely used in the production of biomaterials because of their efficient and sustainable capacity for synthesis of bioproducts. Industrial applications of microbial synthesis typically utilize ce…

Landscape analyses using eDNA metabarcoding and Earth observation predict community biodiversity in California Open
Ecosystems globally are under threat from ongoing anthropogenic environmental change. Effective conservation management requires more thorough biodiversity surveys that can reveal system‐level patterns and that can be applied rapidly acros…

Understanding the metabolome and metagenome as extended phenotypes: The next frontier in macroalgae domestication and improvement Open
“ Omics” techniques (including genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and metagenomics) have been employed with huge success in the improvement of agricultural crops. As marine aquaculture of macroalgae expands globally, biol…
