CAREER: Stress Response and Gene Induction in Biofilms and Relation to Biofilm Detachment

9623233斯图尔特这份职业发展计划包括研究和教育活动。本研究的目的是形成生物膜脱落的遗传学基础。这项研究的假设是，存在主动控制脱落过程的基因，这些基因受到细胞环境或生理状态的调节。目标是开发方法，以诱导这些基因以比目前严重依赖生物杀灭化学品更具成本效益和环境可接受的方式控制生物污损。教育计划的目标是培养优秀的教师。这包括一系列深思熟虑的活动，以提高教学技巧。***

9623233 Stewart This career development plan contains both research and education activities. The objective of the research is to form a genetic basis for biofilm detachment. The hypothesis of the research is that there are genes that actively control the process of sloughing detachment, and that these genes are regulated by cellular environment or physiological status. The objective would be to develop methods to induce these genes to control biofouling in a more cost effective and environmentally acceptable manner than the current heavy reliance on biocidal chemicals. The goal of the educational plan is for the PI to develop excellence as a teacher. This includes a set of well thought-out activities to improve teaching technique. ***
