Exploring the when, what, and why of labile metabolite production and excretion by marine microorganisms “These organisms are tiny, but they are diverse and abundant, and their cellular activities all add up together to control how much carbon makes it into the deep ocean, where it is stored for thousands of years or even longer,” said Professor Boysen. “We use analytical organic chemistry tools, such as gas-chromatography mass spectrometry, to measure the molecules that microbes

    of all the hard work that goes into improving technologies such as batteries,” she says. “It was exciting to work on a project that could help to support the switch away from fossil fuels.” The work centers on polymers — large molecules made up of smaller molecules linked together like a chain — which make up everything from nylon and polyester clothing to Teflon pans. In the future, it may improve lithium-ion batteries.Currently, most lithium-ion batteries use an organic liquid (made of
