9321433 Stochaj The objective of this Research Fellowship in Marine biotechnology is to apply molecular techniques to the investigation of interactions between host and endosymbiont in a cnidarian/algal symbiosis. Using the Aiptasia pallida/Symbiodinium sp. symbiosis, this project will examine interactions between the alga and the host at the levels of controlled protein and RNA synthesis. The project represents an interdisciplinary approach to further our knowledge on interactions in cnidarian/algal symbioses. Current physiological and biochemical knowledge suggests that the host regulates growth, release of metabolites and possibly the metabolism of the algal endosymbiont. The interaction between the host and symbiont on the molecular level will be examined on the molecular level in order to understand what causes the physiological changes noted in the algal endosymbiont and how the host may be involved in regulating these changes. ***

9321433这项海洋生物技术研究奖学金的目标是应用分子技术来研究线虫/藻类共生中宿主和内共生菌之间的相互作用。利用苍白隐翅虫/共生线虫。共生，这个项目将在受控蛋白质和RNA合成的水平上检查藻类与宿主之间的相互作用。该项目代表了一种跨学科的方法，以促进我们对线虫/藻类共生环境中相互作用的了解。目前的生理生化知识表明，宿主调节藻类内共生菌的生长、代谢产物的释放，可能还调节其新陈代谢。在分子水平上考察宿主和共生体之间的相互作用，以了解是什么导致藻类内共生体发生生理变化，以及宿主如何参与调节这些变化。***
