  • Phospholipid Fatty Acids As Biomass Proxies and Their Use in Characterizing Deep Terrestrial Subsurface Microbial Communities
    PHOSPHOLIPID FATTY ACIDS AS BIOMASS PROXIES AND THEIR USE IN CHARACTERIZING DEEP TERRESTRIAL SUBSURFACE MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES By SIAN E. FORD, B.Sc., B.Sc. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science McMaster University ©Copyright by Sian E. Ford, September 2018 MASTER OF SCIENCE (2018) Earth and Environmental Sciences Collaborative Graduate Program in Astrobiology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: PHOSPHOLIPID FATTY ACIDS AS BIOMASS PROXIES AND THEIR USE IN CHARACTERIZING DEEP TERRESTRIAL SUBSURFACE MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES AUTHOR: Sian E. Ford, B.Sc., B.Sc. (University of Alberta) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Gregory F. Slater NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 74 ii ABSTRACT Understanding the distribution, abundances and metabolic activities of microbial life in the subsurface is fundamental to our understanding of the role microbes play in many areas of inquiry such as terrestrial biogeochemical cycling and the search for extraterrestrial life. The deep terrestrial subsurface is known to harbor microbial life at depths of up to several kilometers where, in some cases, organisms live independently from the photosphere and atmosphere. Ancient fracture fluids trapped within the crystalline basement of the Canadian Precambrian Shield have been shown to be preserved on geologic timescales (millions to billions of years). Significant challenges exist when probing the deep terrestrial subsurface including the low biomass abundance, heterogeneous distribution of biomass, and the potential for matrix effects during sampling and analysis. This Master’s thesis project has two main parts. The first study utilizes phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis to determine the extent of mineral matrices on the effectiveness of PLFA extraction and analysis from deep terrestrial subsurface samples.
