Under the microscope, Trichodesmium colonies vary a lot! How does is this reflected in their molecular profiles?
The project used metaproteomics of single colonies, microscopy, and synchrotron-based μ-XRF to look into this question.
This work was published in 2021. We’re following up on individual heterogeneity in marine microbes using microfluidics and microscopy techniques, and using what we learned in this project to improve techniques for metaproteomics analyses of limited-biomass samples.
A look at all the colonies we examined in this study. From Figure S1 of the publication.
