Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2010.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 47-51).Traditional views of marine environments describe the ocean pelagic zone as a homogeneous nutrient-poor environment. Heterotrophic marine bacteria that have evolved high-energy mechanisms for swimming abilities and sensing nutrient gradients would gain no survival advantage under this model. Recent identification of microscale (<1cm) nutrient patches, such as those produced by algal exudates, explain a potential for these evolved functions. With this new model for the pelagic zone, bacteria, through chemotaxis and motility, can sense and respond to mic...
