- Alexandra_Worden abstract "Alexandra (Alex) Z. Worden (born 1970) is a marine microbial ecologist and genome scientist. She is an associate scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and professor of ocean sciences adjunct at the University of California Santa Cruz.Worden’s research has focused on the physiology and ecology of picophytoplankton, unicellular organisms that are responsible for a large portion of ocean primary production (photosynthetic uptake of atmospheric CO2). Worden’s early work focused on methods development for investigating populations while still in the nature environment and their roles in the carbon cycle, and this theme has continued through her career.During an NSF postdoctoral fellowship at Scripps Institution of Oceanography Worden was recognized for research that revealed the importance of small eukaryotic phytoplankton known as picoeukaryotes, demonstrating that despite low abundance they had a disproportionately high contribution to picoplanktonic primary production. A second study by Worden while in the laboratory of Farooq Azam overturned the long running idea that Vibrio cholerae existed primarily attached to copepods in aquatic systems. This was considered important for understanding ecology of this human pathogen and vectors for transmission of infective cells.Worden has pioneered eukaryotic "targeted metagenomics" wherein cells of particular interest are separated from the masses using flow cytometry (on a ship) and genomes are then sequenced from only the cells of greatest interest. Using this approach Worden and collaborators at the DOE Joint Genome Institute sequenced partial genomes from uncultured eukaryotic algae whilst showing the distribution of these photosynthetic protists in the ocean. Her laboratory also investigates ancestral components of land plants, evolutionary biology and distributions of uncultured taxa and interactions between viruses and phytoplankton host cells. Worden publishes in the fields of environmental microbiology, evolutionary biology, genome science and oceanography.Worden started a lab as assistant professor at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science in 2004, but left soon thereafter for the US West Coast. In 2004, she was awarded a three-year Young Investigator in Marine Microbiology Award by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. In 2009, Worden was named a scholar of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR), later becoming a fellow of CIFAR (2011).".
