Mikayla Borton studies the microbial communities (microbiomes) that live in rivers and their sediments, looking at how factors like temperature, nutrients, and human-caused disturbances affect microbial activity and river ecosystem processes such as respiration (the breakdown of organic matter by microbes). This work combines fieldwork, molecular biology, and data science, and includes efforts to build shared standards and open datasets for microbiome and environmental sample research across the broader scientific community.

Publication counts (including datasets and supplementary materials) rose sharply around 2021-2023 before declining toward 2024-2026, suggesting a period of especially high output followed by a slowdown, though the underlying record mixes many linked data/supplementary entries with primary research articles.
