Kristen Hunter-Cevera’s Ph.D. thesis focused on exploring and understanding the population dynamics and diversity of Synechococcous, single-cell photosynthetic bacteria that are one of the most abundant and critical organisms in the ocean. But getting them to grow in the lab, so she could study them in detail, proved challenging. (Dehann Fourie, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
