Ongoing research with the Simons Foundation Collaboration on Biogeochemical Modeling

Selective remineralization

PQRQ figure What happens if the photosynthetic and respiratory quotients are not counter-balanced?

CBIOMES Project

MSE figure

Ongoing research with the Simons Foundation Collaboration on Biogeochemical Modeling of Marine Ecosystems. Watch a narrated slide show of what’s in the works and check out a case-study applying detailed mechanistic models of Prochlorococcus physiology and metabolism across an eddy-dipole.

Nutrient Uptake

Figure 5

Check out our mechanistic model of substrate limited microbial growth kinetics. A way to derive nutrient transport rates from physiological data and genome-scale models. Easier than it sounds!

Some thoughts about Monod, Droop and Blackman

Some thoughts about Monod, Droop and Blackman, and how to reconcile them with a mechanistic model.
