The goals of this visit are to (1) test the current high-pressure, high-temperature equipment with a known deep-sea thermophile, Archaeoglobus fulgidus; (2) develop an improved design that increases working pressures to ~100 MPa and includes the addition of fixative to subsamples prior to decompression; and (3) outline future research collaborations between Dr. Kallmeyer, Dr. Rogers and Mr. Sauer. The requested travel funds will solidify a collaboration between two C- DEBI affiliates, including a predoctoral student, and jumpstart a number of future deep biosphere research projects. The transfer of knowledge regarding the high-temperature, high-pressure growth system will greatly expand our ability to investigate the limits of microbial life in the subsurface, and sharing equipment design is one of the key motivations of the C-DEBI community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":[],"award_type":[14],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/awards\/476"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/awards"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/award"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"award_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/award_type?post=476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
