Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)/KBS010: Kellogg Biological Station Gene Transfer Experiment

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

LTER - Long-Term Ecological Research Program/Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) LTER/KBS010 (Summary adapted from the LTER Core Data Set Catalog): Results from a field plot experiment to examine mechanisms of gene transfer in soil.

Description

Field plots (4 treatments x 2 replicate blocks) have been treated differentially with 2,4-D; populations of 2,4-D-metabolizing bacteria determined using plasmid gene probes and MPN plate counts.

The 1,000 ha W.K. Kellogg Biological Station has been administered by Michigan State University as a primary research facility since its 1929 deeding to the university by Kellogg. In its early years the Station was devoted to wildlife, forestry, and soil conservation research; during the past 20 years a research emphasis on ecology, production agronomy, and forest genetics has led to well-established and internationally recognized programs in each of these fields.

The mission of the Station, supported by 10 year-round resident faculty from several university departments, in addition to campus-based faculty and visiting scientists, puts a primary emphasis on maintaining an environment for interdisciplinary research in ecology, agriculture, and natural resources. KBS LTER research topics include ecological interactions underlying the productivity and environmental impact of production-level cropping systems; patterns, causes, and consequences of microbial, plant, and insect diversity in agricultural landscapes; gene transfer, community dynamics and biogeochemical fluxes.
