| Title | Bacterial community analysis of juvenile corals exposed to different temperatures in a long-term experiment |
| Description | Climate change is the biggest threat to coral reefs. However, we know little about the effect on the early life stages. Juvenile corals were exposed to different temperatures in an experimental setup for 12 months. The symbiotic dinoflagellate community and the physiological response of the corals have already been analyzed. The bacterial communities of the coral samples should now be analyzed in this Master thesis. How does the elevated temperature affect the bacterial community? Do we see differences that can explain the physiological responses we saw? |
| Home institution | Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment |
| Type of work | not specified |
| Type of thesis | Master's degree |
| Author | Dr. rer. nat. Mareen Möller |
| Status | available |
| Problem statement | The experiment is already finished and the samples are pre-processed. The project will mainly require work with microbiome sequencing data (16S rRNA/18S/ ITS amplicon data). The results of this thesis should be published in a peer reviewed journal. Language Work process can be done in german or english but the thesis should be submitted in english
