Microbial Community and Environmental Factors Affecting Copper Complexation in a Navy Harbor

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to understand the interactions between microorganisms and copper in estuaries that are heavily utilized by naval operations. We are particularly interested in the production of high-affinity, copper-complexing ligands by microbial populations in response to elevated copper concentrations.
