Problem Solver
John Lisle
Areas John Lisle is Knowledgeable in:
Microbial ecology and associated geochemistry of aquatic systems, with an emphasis on bacteria and bacteriophage.
Techniques John Lisle Uses:
In addition to the list of Skills and Problem Solving Experiences, I also use multivariate statistics to analyze the data matrices that are generated from these project.
John Lisle's Problem Solving Skills:
- Use of fluorescent stains and probes to determine the physiological activity (live or dead) of microbes
- Cultivation techniques for selection, enrichment and growth of microbes from soil and water sources
- Microbiological methods for determination of the microbial quality of all types of water and wastewater
- Radioisotopes to determine microbial respiration and productivity rates
- Use of molecular methods to determine microbial community diversity
- Use of molecular methods to determine the identification of microbial species
- Assessment of the microbial ecology and biogeochemistry of water systems using traditional and molecular-based methods
John Lisle's Problem Solving Experience:
- I've developed projects to assess the role that sediment associated microbes have on global processes such as ocean acidification and warming in coastal coral reef communities
- I have developed a in situ diffusion chamber for the study of microbial responses in all types of water and wastewater
- I'm developed and executed project to assess the response of native microbial communities and geochemistry in deep groundwater systems to the injection of treated waters
