The Sapelo Island Microbial Observatory (SIMO) is improving understanding of the fate of terrestrial and marine-derived dissolved organic matter in the coastal ocean through a focus on bacterial community gene expression patterns. This project was funded in October, 2007 by the National Science Foundation.
