Explore the fascinating world of microbial symbioses in marine environments through this live recording of the Meet the Microbiologist podcast. Dive into Dr. Nicole Dubilier's groundbreaking research on symbiotic relationships between bacteria and marine invertebrates in diverse ecosystems, from hydrothermal vents to cold seeps. Learn about the challenges and rewards of studying these unique relationships, the process of collecting and analyzing samples from shallow and deep-sea environments, and the differences between coastal and deep-sea symbioses. Discover key findings, such as bacteria that use carbon monoxide as an energy source, and gain insights into the evolution of these symbiotic relationships. Understand the importance of persistence in scientific research and the potential industrial applications of discoveries like oxygen-tolerant hydrogenases. Get a glimpse into future research plans, including an expedition to the Great Barrier Reef and studies on species evolution in the Mediterranean.
