This award supports a two year continuing grant for Dr. Sieburth and his co-investigators to renew their work on marine microbiology. The award is an Accomplishment Based Renewal of their previously funded research (1985 - 1987) that has led to the isolation of a new genus of archebacteria from marine waters. Dr. Sieburth has put forth the exciting hypothesis that there exists a very active assemblage of marine bacteria that produce and consume simple carbon compounds in surface seawater. This represents a previously undocumented pathway for carbon in surface waters. The current award will enable Dr. Sieburth to test this hypothesis and continue his analysis of the organisms responsible. The award also supports the productive co- investigators that have adapted sensitive techniques such as coloumetry for the measurement of seawater dissolved inorganic carbon.

该奖项支持为 Sieburth 博士及其合作研究人员提供为期两年的持续资助，以更新他们在海洋微生物学方面的工作。 该奖项是对他们之前资助的研究（1985 - 1987）的基于成就的更新，该研究导致从海水中分离出新的古细菌属。 西伯斯博士提出了一个令人兴奋的假设，即存在一种非常活跃的海洋细菌组合，它们在表层海水中产生和消耗简单的碳化合物。 这代表了地表水中碳的先前未记录的途径。 目前的奖项将使西伯斯博士能够检验这一假设，并继续对负责的生物体进行分析。 该奖项还支持那些采用敏感技术（例如色度法）来测量海水溶解无机碳的富有成效的合作研究人员。
