General Biology 2 Sugar Beet Lab - Spring 24
Abstract
This module uses the Department of Energy Systems Biology Knowledgebase (KBase) platform to explore topics such as genome assembly, metagenomics, and phylogenomics. Here students will use sequences from DNA that they collected to compare the metagenomes of microbial communities from the rhizosphere of plants grown in fertilized vs. unfertilized soils. Using these data students will evaluate the impact of fertilizer on these communities and how these microbial communities influence soil health and plant growth.
