 gae Grown for Fuel Production\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Samuel Major\, Masters Candi
 date\, UMCES-IMET\n\n\n\nAbstract: \n\n\n\nPonds in Frederick\, MD were fe
 rtilized with chicken manure to increase the nutrient load in the water an
 d stimulate microalgal growth. Nutrient analyses indicate that fertilizati
 on results in significant increases in the DOC\, TDN\, and TDP. The bacter
 ial and eukaryotic microalgal communities were analyzed using 16S and 18S 
 rRNA gene sequencing\, respectively. Communities were analyzed pre-fertili
 zation and for 15 days following fertilization. Molecular data reveals a d
 ecrease in diversity as microalgal blooms form. The microalgal density inc
 reased following fertilization\, with enrichment for the Chlamydomonadales
  order. Prior to fertilization the bacterial communities were dominated by
  five phyla: Actinobacteria\, Bacteroidetes\, Cyanobacteria\, Proteobacter
 ia\, and Verrucomicrobia. Dominant bacterial genera post-fertilization inc
 luded Flavobacterium\, Limnohabitans\, and Polynucleobacter.\n\n\n\nBacter
 ia isolated from the ponds were screened for effects on Scenedesmus sp. HT
 B1 to identify bacteria that either enhance or inhibit microalgal growth. 
 The growth- promoting bacteria were closely related to bacteria found to b
 e enriched during microalgal bloom formation.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n**This will 
 be held in the auditorium**
