Calibration, comparison, and experimentation of testate amoebae (arcellacea) as Holocene water quality proxies in lacustrine systems
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)Linear regression analyses support testate amoeba as rapid responders and recorders of environmental change. Taxa are strongly correlated with percent change of important water quality parameters. Our assessment indicates ... -
Exploring microbial growth of a model extremophile, archaeoglobus fulgidus, at elevated pressures
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)Deep-sea vent and subsurface microorganisms are metabolically diverse and often display unique adaptive strategies that operate under elevated pressure conditions. However, because high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) laboratory ... -
