Proposals without separate UNC budget: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Deep Biosphere Institute Eukaryotes in the deep marine subsurface (Fall 2008) V.P. Edgcomb, R. Gast, (WHOI), A. Teske. This proposal provides Virginia Edgcomb at WHOI with salary and consumables support to perform a pilot project, sequencing eukaryotic 18S rRNA genes from deep marine subsurface sediments. Samples were provided by the Teske lab. The Keck Foundation and ICOMM (International Census of Marine Microbes) Microbial census of methane and hydrocarbon seep sediments in relation to geochemical and temperature gradients (Summer and Fall 2008) A. Teske. This proposal enabled 16S-‐rRNA-‐targeted pyrosequencing of sediment samples from methane seeps, provided by the Teske lab and collaborators, at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole. Joint Genome Institute/Community Sequencing Program (CSP) Fosmid sequencing of novel subsurface microbial phylotypes” Expanding the Tree of Life (Spring 2008) J.F.Biddle, C.House (Penn State), A. Teske. This proposal provided for partial sequencing (end-‐sequencing) of fosmids, large cloned DNA inserts, from deep subsurface sediments, in order to collect baseline data about gene content (function and diversity) of subsurface microbial communities. Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Sequencing of a large marine Beggiatoa sp. from Guaymas Basin (summer 2005) A.Teske. This project entails the genome sequencing of an uncultured, orange-‐pigmented, large Beggiatoa (ca. 35 um filament diameter) from microbial mats of Guaymas Basin. The success of this project will depend on the recovery of sufficiently pure Beggiatoa samples and DNA during our Guaymas cruise in December 2008. The required Beggiatoa biomass and DNA has been obtained via whole genome amplification of a single filament, and was submitted in January 2009; Genome pyrosequencing and automated annotation has been completed at the Venter Institute. Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) The Guaymas Basin Transect: Feedbacks between continental rifting, sedimentation, magmatism, thermal alternation of organic matter, and microbial activity and diversity (April 1, 2009). Andreas Teske, Jeffrey S. Seewald, Olivier Rouxel, Jennifer F. Biddle, Christopher S. Martens, Kai-‐Uwe Hinrichs, Axel Schippers, Bo B. Jørgensen. Adam Soule, Daniel Lizzaralde. This IODP preproposal for drilling a transsect across the Guaymas Basin spreading center, for integrated geological, geochemical and microbiological investigation of this young, active, sediment-‐covered spreading center, was reviewed positively, and a full proposal submission was encouraged. Joint Genome Institute/Community Sequencing Program (CSP) Linking mantle to microbe: a community-‐wide effort to ally hydrothermal vent microbial identity and ecology to geochemical cycles via metagenomes (June 2010, approved in spring 2011) Peter Girguis (PI), Anna-‐Louise Reysenbach, John Baross, James Holden, Julie Huber, Stefan Sievert, Matthew Schrenk, Andreas Teske, Constantino Vetriani. This proposal enables V6-‐pyrosequencing

and metagenomic sequencing of 25 – 50 hydrothermal vent samples, selected for representing distinct and mutually complementary geochemical and geothermal regimes. Joint Genome Institute/Community Sequencing Program (CSP) Creating a successional model for hydrocarbon remediation in the Gulf of Mexico, Jack A. Gilbert (Argonne Natl Lab, Illinois, USA) and Andreas Teske (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). Submitted in June 2011, approved for sequencing Spring 2012. Consortium for Ocean Leadership (COL) From mantle to sediments to microbes at a hydrothermal spreading center: workshop for 2013-‐2023 Scientific Ocean Drilling proposal in Guaymas Basin Submitted and approved in November 2012; the budget of $ 25,000 was used entirely to support workshop attendees’ travel. The IODP drilling proposal planning workshop was held at Wrigley Marine Station, Catalina Island, Feb 26 to Ma 1, 2013, with 22 participants. Integrated Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Guaymas Basin and Sonora margin: Feedbacks between continental rifting, magmatism, sedimentation, climate history, thermal alteration of organic matter and microbial activity. Andreas Teske, Daniel Lizarralde, S. Adam Soule, Ivano Aiello, and 22 others. Full Proposal No. 833 (April 1, 2013). This proposal envisions drilling a transect across the Guaymas Basin spreading center, for integrated geological, geochemical and microbiological investigation of this young, active, sediment-‐covered spreading center. This proposal was reviewed (6/13) as scientifically very strong; a few modifications were recommended for the revision.
