…the collaboration. Scripps marine microbiologist Doug Bartlett. “The Deepsea Challenge expedition is highlighting in stunning and dramatic fashion the alien-like environments that exist at great depth,” said Bartlett, a Scripps marine microbiologist and chief scientist of the voyage. “Hadal (existing at depths greater than 20,000 feet) life forms are the…

…their own. Dutton, a microbiologist, studies communities of microbes that can contain hundreds of species. Using a research platform based on the simplified communities found on aged cheeses, she identifies how different bacterial species communicate with one another. Her research investigates how interactions between species drive the formation, structure and…
