MS Thesis Title: The comparison of manganese (II) oxidizing microbes in two cave systems
Morgan's work on the role of manganese oxidation on different mineral substrates was severely interrupted by COVID-19 lab closures, but instead she found that cave microbial communities were far more varied than we had previously anticipated. She now works as a Laboratories Manager for Stallergenes Greer.
