This includes the serpentinite mud volcanoes of the Mariana forearc (which characteristically have high pH and high concentrations of methane, hydrogen, formate, and acetate), a possible habitat for the origin of life. This study aims to assess deep subsurface piezophilic (pressure- loving) microbial communities present within the serpentinite mud volcanoes of the Mariana forearc \u2013 which were drilled during International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 366. Metagenomics, single-cell genomics, and metatranscriptomics will be employed to determine the community composition of the high-pressure adapted microorganisms present within these systems, as well as their functional potential within this environment. Comparison of metatranscriptomes of replicate microcosms incubated at various pressures will reveal, on a community level, genes important for adaptation to high hydrostatic pressure. This work will shed light on the role pressure plays within the deep biosphere and provide further insight into adaptations to environmental conditions present on the early Earth and which also exist elsewhere in the solar system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As an undergraduate at Rutgers University, it was my work on hydrothermal vent microbial communities that sparked my interest in the study of extremophilic microbes. Now pursuing a Ph.D. in Marine Biology at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, my research focuses on microbial adaptation to extreme environments \u2013 particularly high pressure and high pH systems. I utilize coupled molecular and physiological approaches to understand how microbes adapt to survive at the limits of life, and how these adaptations may be relevant to the origin of life on Earth and elsewhere in our solar system. The Schlanger Fellowship allows me to investigate the extremophilic microbial communities in a region hypothesized as a possible location for the origin of life on Earth, the Mariana Forearc serpentinite mud volcanoes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:66.666666666667% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 0px;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:66.666666666667% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0px;margin-left : 0px;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-1{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-23420","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>2019 Schlanger Fellow - Kelli Mullane - U.S. Science Support Program<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/usoceandiscovery.org\/kelli-mullane\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"2019 Schlanger Fellow - Kelli Mullane - U.S. Science Support Program\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/usoceandiscovery.org\/kelli-mullane\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"U.S. Science Support Program\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-08-13T08:16:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/usoceandiscovery.org\/kelli-mullane\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/usoceandiscovery.org\/kelli-mullane\/\",\"name\":\"2019 Schlanger Fellow - Kelli Mullane - U.S. Science Support Program\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-06-10T19:26:35+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-08-13T08:16:42+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/usoceandiscovery.org\/kelli-mullane\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/usoceandiscovery.org\/kelli-mullane\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/usoceandiscovery.org\/kelli-mullane\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/usoceandiscovery.org\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"2019 Schlanger Fellow &#8211;
