Equipment for an Undergraduate Microbiology Laboratory.

该项目提供一个现代化、安全的蒸汽高压灭菌器，用于灭菌培养基和向本科生（其中大多数是西班牙裔妇女）教授微生物学的用品。购置了一台新的现代蒸汽高压灭菌器，为该部门提供了一种更有效、更可靠的制备细菌培养基的方法。这一改进为参加微生物学课程的学生提供了培养和鉴定微生物所需的教学材料，从而使他们受益。受资助机构将从非联邦来源获得等额的NSF奖励。

This project is providing a modern, safe steam autoclave for the sterilization of culture media and supplies used in the teaching of microbiology to undergraduates, most of whom are Hispanic women. The acquisition of a new modern steam autoclave provides the department with a more efficient and reliable means of preparing bacteriological culture media. This improvement benefits the students enrolled in microbiology courses by providing them with the required materials for instruction in the culture and identification of microorganisms. The grantee institution is matching the NSF award with an equal sum obtained from non-Federal sources.
