9362057 Bochner There is a growing recognition of the need to care for our ocean environments and to prevent or at least minimize chemical pollution introduced by man. Marine bacteria play a key role by initiating the recycling metabolic good chain of the oceans. However, our knowledge of these organisms, their diversity, taxonomy, and metabolic capabilities, is still at a rudimentary level. In this project, Biolog, Inc. proposes to develop a simple and rapid instrumented system for characterizing and identifying a broad range of heterotrophic, mesophilic marine bacteria or mixed populations of marine microorganisms. The system will be composed of microplate test kits which can be read and analyzed by an existing computer-controlled reading instrument. A second goal of this proposed research program is to collect and analyze data on the metabolic capabilities of microbial populations indigenous to ocean environments. The fundamental scientific insights gained in the proposed study should aid in the development of strategies for preserving, enhancing, and/or directing the metabolism of marine bacteria for preservation or reclamaton of marine habitat. The instrumented test kit system will be marketed to marine and fishery organizations and research institutes and to commercial fish and shellfish farming operations.

9362057 Bochner人们越来越认识到需要保护我们的海洋环境，防止或至少最大限度地减少人类引入的化学污染。海洋细菌通过启动海洋的循环代谢良性链发挥着关键作用。 然而，我们对这些生物的了解，它们的多样性，分类和代谢能力，仍然处于初级水平。 在该项目中，Biolog，Inc.提出开发一种简单快速的仪器化系统，用于表征和鉴定广泛的异养、嗜温海洋细菌或海洋微生物的混合种群。 该系统将由微孔板检测试剂盒组成，可以通过现有的计算机控制的阅读仪器进行读取和分析。 这项拟议研究计划的第二个目标是收集和分析海洋环境中土著微生物种群代谢能力的数据。 在拟议的研究中获得的基本科学见解应有助于制定保护，增强和/或指导海洋细菌代谢的战略，以保护或开垦海洋栖息地。 仪器化的测试套件系统将销售给海洋和渔业组织和研究机构，以及商业鱼类和贝类养殖业务。
