Roden Geomicrobiology LaboratoryI occupy a 1800 square foot laboratory in a new wing of Weeks Hall that houses the Department of Geology and Geophysics at UW-Madison. The laboratory is specifically equipped for handling anaerobic materials and microorganisms, in particular the culturing and manipulation of anaerobic respiratory and lithotrophic bacteria. The new laboratory also includes a molecular biological facility for nucleic acid extraction (from cultures or soil/sediment samples) and manipulation en route to sequencing and/or quantitative PCR analysis. Through ongoing DOE-funded (EMSP and NABIR programs; see Research Projects) research, a sediment core reactor facility for conducing reactive transport experiments with repacked and intact subsurface sediment cores has been developed. A diverse array of column reactors and associated pumping systems are available to support reactive transport studies involving microbial metabolism. Major pieces of equipment available in my laboratory are as follows:
