Raskin 9410476 This is an award to provide support for research on the causes and control of foaming in aerobic and anaerobic, suspended growth bioreactors. The investigator plans on designing oligonucleotide rRNA-targeted probes that are specific for identifying several foam-causing microorganisms. The probes will be used to study and characterize the conditions that lead to foaming and the microbiological flora associated with foaming in bioreactors that are used in waste treatment processes. Foaming is a problem commonly associated with bioreactors used in wastewater treatment processes and in the processing of residuals produced during the treatment process. The foaming problem is frequently associated with conditions that result in dominance by filamentous microorganisms in the reactors. Results of this research are expected to provide new insights into the causes of foaming and the potential for its control. This knowledge is expected to be applied in improving the operation of existing bioreactors and in improving the engineering design of systems utilizing bioreactors. The proposal leading to this award was submitted in accord with NSF 92-122, Research Initiation Awards Program. ***

Raskin 9410476这是一个奖项，为好氧和厌氧悬浮生长生物反应器中起泡的原因和控制研究提供支持。研究人员计划设计寡核苷酸rRNA靶向探针，用于鉴定几种引起泡沫的微生物。 探针将用于研究和表征导致泡沫的条件以及与废物处理过程中使用的生物反应器中的泡沫相关的微生物植物群。 发泡是通常与用于废水处理过程和处理过程中产生的残余物的处理中的生物反应器相关的问题。 发泡问题通常与导致丝状微生物在反应器中占优势的条件有关。 这项研究的结果预计将提供新的见解泡沫的原因及其控制的潜力。 这方面的知识，预计将被应用于改善现有的生物反应器的操作，并在改善利用生物反应器的系统的工程设计。 导致这个奖项的建议是在雅阁与NSF 92-122，研究启动奖励计划提交。 ***
