U.S.-New Zealand Planning Visit: Oil Degrading Bacteria in Antarctica

该奖项将支持阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校的Mark TUMEO博士计划访问新西兰，与Manaaki Whenua-Landcare研究所的Jacqueline Aislabie博士开展一项合作研究项目，研究他们从南极洲泄漏地点分离出的石油降解细菌。拟进行的研究的目的是评估燃料进口对南极洲的影响，以及作为正在进行的土壤修复工作的一部分利用南极洲本地细菌的可行性。

9714865 TUMEO This award will support a planning visit by Dr. Mark Tumeo, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, to New Zealand to develop a cooperative research project with Dr. Jacqueline Aislabie of the Manaaki Whenua-Landcare Research Institute on oil- degrading bacteria which they have isolated from spill sites in Antarctica. The aims of the intended research are to assess the impacts of fuel importation in Antarctica and the viability of using indigenous bacteria in Antarctica as part of ongoing soil remediation efforts.
