Abstract
Today, bacteriology faces the propitious simultaneous emergence of powerful new tools in synthetic biology, ecology, and lab automation. Unfortunately, we lack the measurement and experimental tools to fully realize the potential of these new developments. In this thesis, I will discuss my study of microbial metrology by highlighting a set of successful (and unsuccessful) projects centered on improving the tools available for high throughput experimentation and measurement in the field of the microbiome. In particular, I discuss my research and publications on: the development of a liquid-chromatography mass-spectrometry (LCMS) pipeline for microbial metabolomics, in vivo sensors for oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) measurement, microfluidic measures of coral model systems, and the development of a volumetric sourcetracking algorithm using microbial markers
