I did microbiology research in the Everglades as a biology major while pursuing my Masters Degree. This research focusing on microbes in flocculent organic matter is important because we need to better understand the types of microbes that are in the system, what contributes to their growth and functioning and also how they are functioning as well. I was curious about microbes in floc, so I characterized my samples after collecting them. #researcher #microbiology #everglades #scientist #stem

Transcript

Why my research in microbiology in the Everglades is important? So microbes are important to the health of the ecosystem because they help to regulate water quality. They also help to regulate the nutrient cycle, and they also help to break down dead organic better, which plants need to grow. Now my research focused on flocculent organic matter and its biogeochemical variables, and also looked at basically how these biogeochemical variables are driving, community structure in microbial communities.
