Abstract DBI 9750341 Claire S. Ting This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for 1997. This fellowship provides an opportunity for the Fellow to gain additional scientific training beyond the doctoral degree and to pursue innovative and imaginative into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the interactions between organisms and their environment at the molecular, cellular, organismal, population, community and/or ecosystem level in any area of biology supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences of the National Science Foundation. Each fellowship supports a research and training plan to be carried out in a sponsoring laboratory. The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "Key Environmental Factors Regulating Photosynthetic Gene Expression in a Novel Prokaryote." Prochlorococcus marinus is the only photosynthetic prokaryote which has been found to contain a chlorophyll a/b light-harvesting antenna as well as the phycobiliprotein, phycoerythrin. This research addresses the functional significance of phycoerythrin in this organism. The mechanisms that regulate phycoerythrin gene expression and accumulation are being determined under different light and nutrient levels.

DBI 9750341克莱尔·S·丁这一行动资助了美国国家科学基金会1997年与环境相关的生物科学博士后研究奖学金。这一奖学金为研究员提供了一个在博士学位之外获得额外科学培训的机会，并在任何生物领域的分子、细胞、组织、种群、社区和/或生态系统层面上以创新和富有想象力的方式探索生物体与其环境之间相互作用的基本机制，这一领域得到了国家科学基金会生物科学局的支持。每个研究金资助一项研究和培训计划，该计划将在一个赞助实验室进行。该奖学金的研究和培训计划名为《调节新原核生物中光合作用基因表达的关键环境因素》。海洋原氯球菌是已发现的唯一含有叶绿素a/b捕光天线和藻胆蛋白藻红蛋白的光合原核生物。本研究探讨了藻红蛋白在该生物体中的功能意义。在不同的光照和营养水平下，调节藻红蛋白基因表达和积累的机制正在被确定。
