Hunt for Microbial ‘Trojan Horses’
October 9, 2009Matt First, a postdoctoral scholar in the WHOI Geology and Geophysics Department, studies “Trojan horses” in the sea — single-celled animals that harbor disease-causing bacteria inside them. “These protists don’t harm people, but they could contain pathogenic bacteria, sometimes in very high concentrations,” First said. Learn more about his research in Oceanus magazine.
