9809388 Ford The objective of this project is to understand how an extreme high temperature environment has influenced the survival mechanisms associated with the swimming behavior, chemotaxis, and biofilm formation of Thermatoga maritima. The results of this project are to provide insight into the evolution of microorganisms exposed to extreme thermal environments. Information from this project will complement the structure/function relationships of chemotaxis proteins being investigated at the molecular level by other researchers. Understanding how microorganisms optimize their chemotactic response in extreme environments will be useful for technological advances in developing biosensors, bioremediation efforts, and oil recovery operations. ***

9809388福特本项目的目的是了解极端高温环境如何影响与海洋栖热蝽的游泳行为、趋化性和生物膜形成相关的生存机制。 该项目的结果是提供深入了解暴露于极端热环境的微生物的进化。 该项目的信息将补充其他研究人员在分子水平上研究的趋化蛋白的结构/功能关系。 了解微生物如何在极端环境中优化其趋化反应将有助于开发生物传感器，生物修复工作和石油回收操作的技术进步。 ***
