Research Interests研究興趣
We are interested in understanding the relationship between the structureof microbial communities and their function. We are employing the tools ofmolecular biology, genomics, and genetics to identify the components ofmicrobial communities, and to study their dynamics, interactions, andorganization. Linking the activities of microbes to their genomic content andpopulation structure is a critical step towards manipulating microbial systemsfor human benefit, be it pollution degradation or protection against pathogens.
我們對(duì)了解微生物群落的結(jié)構(gòu)和功能之間的關(guān)系很感興趣。我們使用分子生物學(xué)、基因組學(xué)和基因工具來識(shí)別微生物群落的組成部分，并研究他們的動(dòng)態(tài)、交互和組織結(jié)構(gòu)。將微生物的活動(dòng)與其基因內(nèi)容及群落結(jié)構(gòu)鏈接起來是控制微生物系統(tǒng)使其造福人類的關(guān)鍵環(huán)節(jié)，無論是污染降解或是對(duì)病原體的抵抗。

3、Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS)二氧化碳捕獲和存儲(chǔ)（CCS）
首席研究員：珍奈兒·湯普森 日期：2014年11月26日
CSS is currently being implemented as a strategy to mitigateatmospheric emissions of CO2, and help stabilize atmospheric greenhouse gasconcentrations. In CCS, carbon dioxide is separated and captured from anindustrial process stream, before being compressed and injected deepunderground into geological formations (e.g. hydrocarbon or salt-water filled(saline) reservoirs) for storage on time scales of 1,000 years or more.
CCS是目前正在實(shí)施的減少大氣中二氧化碳的排放并幫助穩(wěn)定大氣溫室氣體濃度的策略。在CCS中，二氧化碳被從工業(yè)處理流程中分離和捕獲，其后被壓縮并注入地下地質(zhì)結(jié)構(gòu)（如含碳?xì)浠衔锘蚝Ｋㄉ睇}水）的水庫），以供長達(dá)千年以上的存儲(chǔ)。

星型?？?/span>Nematostella vectensis中的微生物共生
首席研究員：珍奈兒·湯普森 日期：2014年11月26日
In the natural environment animal tissues harbor diversecommunities of microbes. Increasingevidence suggests these communities are shaped by host-selection andprovide beneficial functions including nutrient cycling andpathogen protection. How such tissue-specific microbialcommunities are assembled and maintained remains a central question forunderstanding the role of microbes in health and disease. Thestarlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis is emerging as a model foranimal development and evolution because the phylum Cnidaria is one of theearliest branches on the animal tree of life. In addition, N. vectensis is closelyrelated to corals and is a tractable laboratory model for probing themechanisms of disease and disease resistance in the class Anthozoa.

5、Molecularecology of toxins and virulence factors
分子生態(tài)學(xué)的毒素和毒力因素
首席研究員：珍奈兒·湯普森 日期：2014年11月26日
Molecular Ecology of Toxigenic Microcystis -- Cyanobacterialtoxins are a public health risk from recreational exposure to freshwater. Freshwater Reservoirs, such as theKranji Reservoir in Singapore (pictured), harbor both Microcystin-producing cyanobacteriaand those that lack the genes needed for toxin production. We are interested in thefollowing questions: Under what conditions are cyanobacterial toxinbiosynthesis genes activated? And,Under what conditions do toxin-producing cyanobacteria have a competitiveadvantage in the Kranji Reservoir? Understandingthe molecular ecology of toxin production will improve prediction of hightoxin/high risk algal blooms.
Molecular Mechanisms of Virulence in Aquaculture Pathogens --Reports of mass-mortality in natural and cultivated marine populations areincreasing world-wide and many marine diseases have suspected microbialetiologies. With collaborators at the Prince ofSongkla University in Thailand we are developing single and mixed-straininfection models of secretion and regulator mutants to investigate themechanisms by which Vibrios closely related to V. harveyi and V.parahaemolyticus (>98% rRNA similarity) cause disease and mortality inmarine invertebrates (e.g. the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon).

5、Life in the Oceans
海洋生物
首席研究員：珍奈兒·湯普森 日期：2013年1月14日
The well-being, prosperity, and sustainability of the humanenterprise relies on the functioning of Earth’s oceans and life within it. The ocean represents our planet’slargest habitat and supports more than half its species.
Photosynthesis in the ocean plays a vital role in the globalclimate and carbon cycle and provides about half of Earth’s oxygen. The microscopic plants that carry outthis photosynthesis – phytoplankton – form the base of the ocean food weband, as such, feed most of the species in the sea.
人類的幸福、繁榮和事業(yè)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展都依賴于地球上的海洋和其中生命的運(yùn)作。海洋是地球上最大的棲息地，支持超過一半的地球物種。
海洋中光合作用在全球氣候和碳循環(huán)中起著至關(guān)重要的作用，提供了地球上約一半的氧氣。這些進(jìn)行光合作用的微生植物——浮游植物——構(gòu)成了海洋食物網(wǎng)的基礎(chǔ)，也以此飼養(yǎng)了大多數(shù)的海洋物種。
Humans rely on some of these species for food and income. The problem: many wild stocks arebeing harvested at unsustainable rates and are in danger of disappearing. Increasing temperatures and acidity ofocean waters will likely change the structure of ocean food webs inunforeseeable ways. These arejust a few of the many warning signs about the fate of life in theocean—and the health of the oceans has direct ramifications for life on land.
Researchers at MIT and WHOI are studying big questions, such as howlife evolved in the ocean, the role of microbes in ocean ecosystems, thereasons behind the global decline of fish stocks and coral reefs, and the waysin which life in the sea is an integral part of Earth’s biosphere.
人類依靠部分海洋物種作為食物和收入來源。問題是：人們正以不可持續(xù)的速率在收割許多野生種群，其中的部分甚至有消失的危險(xiǎn)。而海水的溫度的升高和酸度的增加可能會(huì)以不可預(yù)見的方式改變海洋食物網(wǎng)的結(jié)構(gòu)。這些關(guān)于海洋生命的可悲未來已向我們拉響了警報(bào)，而海洋的健康與否將直接影響陸地上的生命。
麻省理工學(xué)院的研究人員和伍茲霍爾海洋學(xué)研究所正在研究大問題，比如生命在海洋里的進(jìn)化，海洋生態(tài)系統(tǒng)中微生物的作用，全球魚類資源和珊瑚礁減少的原因，以及海洋生物參與地球生物圈的重要組成部分的方式。
This research is complemented by advances in engineering that arehelping us to observe and track life in the ocean and by work being donein the public policy arena that will enable better stewardship. The ocean is also being tapped asa vast reservoir of novel biochemicals that are poised for development aspharmaceuticals, diagnostic agents, and bioenergy modules.
這項(xiàng)研究獲益于先進(jìn)的工程技術(shù)，其幫助我們觀察和跟蹤海洋生物，及公共政策領(lǐng)域工作的進(jìn)展，使我們能更好的管理。海洋也被當(dāng)作一個(gè)擁有新奇生化制劑的巨大水庫，可發(fā)展醫(yī)藥、診斷制劑及生物能源模塊。

(*) What sets the pattern of community structure in the ocean?

湯普森實(shí)驗(yàn)室：微生物生態(tài)學(xué)和工程
首席研究員：珍奈兒·湯普森 日期：2008年12月8日
The Thompson Lab studies how microbes interact with theirenvironments in natural and engineered settings. Our goal is to leverage afundamental understanding of the activities of microbial systems to promote thesustainable management of environmental resources. Our specific projects includeinvestigating microbial activity in subsurface environments duringgeologic sequestration of carbon dioxide, determining how interactions withmicrobes controls the balance between health and disease in reef-buildingcorals and hexacorals, and investigating the ecological significance andregulation of bacterial virulence factors and toxins. Our approach is multidisciplinary-molecular (quantitative PCR, sequencing), genetic (cloning, mutagenesis),and computational (genomics,transcriptomics, phylogenetics). Understanding how microbialpopulations interact to mediate activities such as virulenceand biogeochemical cycling will improve our ability to model theactivities of microbes in the environment, monitor their impact on humanand ecosystem health, and to design remediation and disease preventionstrategies.

Abstract:
Recent demonstration that multiple Bacillusstrains grow in batch bioreactors containing supercritical (sc) CO2 (i.e.>73 atm, >31°C) is surprising given the recognized roles of scCO2 as asterilant and solvent. Growth under scCO2 is of interest for biotechnologicalapplications and for microbially-enhanced geologic carbon sequestration. Wehypothesize that Bacillus spp. may alter cell wall and membrane composition inresponse to scCO2-associated stresses. In this study, protein expression and membranelipids of B. subterraneus MITOT1 were profiled in cultures grown underheadspaces of 1 and 100 atm of CO2 or N2. Growth under 100 atm CO2 revealedsignificantly decreased fatty acid branching and increased fatty acyl chainlengths relative to 1 atm cultures. Proteomes of MITOT1 grown under 1 and 100atm pressures of CO2 and N2 were similar (Spearman R>0.65), and principalcomponent analysis revealed variation by treatment with the first two principalcomponents corresponding to headspace gas (CO2 or N2) and pressure (1 atm and100 atm), respectively. An S-layer protein was among the most highly expressedprotein under all conditions, and expression of numerous citric acid cycle andelectron transport proteins suggest MITOT1 may be capable of anaerobicrespiration. Amino acid metabolic proteins were enriched under CO2, includingthe glycine cleavage system, previously shown to be upregulated in acid stressresponse. These results provide insights into the stationary phase physiologyof strains grown under scCO2, suggesting modifications of cell membranes andamino acid metabolism may be involved in response to acidic, high CO2conditions under scCO2.
