PATRICIA MONTALVO-RODRIGUEZ

Patricia is a Master’s student co-supervised by Lisa Loseto (CEOS, University of Manitoba) and Sara Good working with the larval sea lamprey gut microbiome. Using 16S amplicon sequencing, this project will determine microbial diversity in larval sea lampreys exposed to different rearing conditions and feeding regimes. We will help determine if microbial diversity plays an important role in larval rearing and if it is a critical factor between larval life or death.
