This collaborative project aims to catalyze a research collaboration between US and Argentinian researchers. The project will be led by Drs. Russell Rodriguez at Symbiogenics and Regina Redman of the University of Washington, both in Seattle, Washington, and Dr. Laurie Connell at the University of Maine, Orono, for the US side. On the Argentinean side, Drs. Diego Libkind, Martin Molino and Virginia de Garcia of INIBIOMA (Instituto de Investigaciones en Biodiversidad y Medioambiente, an Argentinean National Scientific and Technical Research Council Institute) and the University of Comahue, are the counterparts for the project. The Argentinian researchers bring to the collaboration expertise in fungal taxonomy and biodiversity, particularly of cold and extreme environments. The US researchers bring expertise in fungal and plant adaptation to stresses, particularly in diverse habitats of Antarctica. Overall, this collaboration aims to understand how function impacts bacterial community structures, an important challenge in predicting ecosystems responses to climate change. For this project the researchers will study fungal communities by investigating their diversity, physiology, and ecology in extreme habitats such as glacial water run-off in Patagonia. The results of these initial studies will lay the groundwork for further large-scale projects. The collaboration will provide training opportunities for students at different levels and has significant potential to increase our understanding of global nutrient cycling, inter-organismal relationships, and life in extreme environments.

这个合作项目旨在促进我们与阿根廷研究人员之间的研究合作。 该项目将由博士领导。华盛顿大学的Synbiogenics和Regina Redman的Russell Rodriguez，位于华盛顿，华盛顿州，奥罗诺大学的缅因州大学的Laurie Connell博士。 在阿根廷人的一面，博士。 Inibioma的Diego Libkind，Martin Molino和Virginia de Garcia（Instituto de Invessivaciones en Bioversidad y Medioambiente，阿根廷国家科学和技术研究委员会研究所）和Comahue大学是该项目的对应物。 阿根廷研究人员将真菌分类学和生物多样性（尤其是寒冷和极端环境）方面的合作专业知识带入了合作专业知识。 美国的研究人员将真菌和植物适应性的专业知识带来了压力，特别是在南极的各种栖息地。总体而言，这种合作旨在了解功能如何影响细菌社区结构，这是预测生态系统对气候变化的反应的重要挑战。 对于这个项目，研究人员将通过研究其多样性，生理学和生态学在极端栖息地（例如巴塔哥尼亚的冰川水径流）来研究真菌群落。 这些初步研究的结果将为进一步的大规模项目奠定基础。 该协作将为不同级别的学生提供培训机会，并具有增强我们对全球营养自行车，有机间关系和极端环境生活的重要潜力。
