This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Microbial Biology for 2000.The research and training plan is in the area of Metabolic Biochemistry and is entitled "Anaerobic Methane Oxidizers in Marine Microbial Mats". Anaerobic methane oxidation (AMOX), a sink for greenhouse gas methane, is a microbially-mediated process of global ecological significance. This research investigates the biology of microorganisms responsible for AMOX in marine microbial mats by using microelectrodes in conjunction with 16S rRNA-based techniques to monitor the organisms as they occur in their natural environments. The data acquired from this research helps to determine if AMOX is mediated by a syntropic relationship between two microbial groups or by a single microbial group possessing an unknown biochemical pathway.

这项行动资助了2000年美国国家科学基金会微生物生物学博士后研究金。研究和培训计划是在代谢生物化学领域，题为“海洋微生物垫中的厌氧甲烷氧化剂”。 厌氧甲烷氧化（AMOX）是温室气体甲烷的汇，是一个具有全球生态意义的微生物介导的过程。 这项研究调查了海洋微生物垫中负责AMOX的微生物的生物学，方法是使用微电极结合基于16S rRNA的技术来监测自然环境中的生物。 从这项研究中获得的数据有助于确定AMOX是由两个微生物群体之间的同向关系介导的，还是由具有未知生化途径的单个微生物群体介导的。
