Prokaryotic Diversity -- An Organismal Approach

9413235惠特曼该奖项支持研究生和本科生的综合、多学科培训计划，重点是微生物多样性。22名参与研究的教员的研究项目涵盖了从识别和分离新生物到在分子水平上分析遗传和生化机制的广泛问题。教员来自生物化学、昆虫学、海洋科学、微生物学和植物病理学系。培训安排包括现有的课程、一个新的研讨会计划、一个新的年度静修和一个新的夏季研讨会，该研讨会将在每年夏天深入研究两种不同的生物。研讨会将有来自全国各地的学生和教职员工参加，预计将对下一代微生物研究人员的培训产生全国影响。该奖项也得到了新陈代谢生物化学项目的支持。***

9413235 Whitman This award supports an integrated, multidisciplinary training program for graduate and undergraduate students with a focus on microbial diversity. The research programs of the 22 participating faculty cover a wide range of problems from identification and isolation of new organisms to analysis of genetic and biochemical mechanisms at the molecular level. The faculty group come from the departments of biochemistry, entomology, marine science, microbiology, and plant pathology. Training arrangements include existing courses, a new seminar program, a new yearly retreat, and a new summer workshop that will focus in depth on two different organisms each summer. The workshop will involve students and faculty from across the nation, and is expected to have a national impact on training of the next generation of microbial researchers. This award is also being supported by the Metabolic Biochemistry Program. ***
