This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Microbial Biology for 2000.The research and training plan is in the area of Animal Developmental Mechanisms and is entitled "The role of the GacA/S Sensory System of the Marine Bacterium Vibrio fischeri During Symbiotic Association of the Bacterium with its Animal Host, the Hawaiian Bobtail Squid". This research explores how the symbiotic bacterium, V. fischeri, regulates association with its squid host, Euprymna scolopes. A sensory system, GacA/S which is involved in the virulence of pathogens, is experimentally mutated and the resulting symbiotic traits of the bacterium are assessed. The mutant bacterium is evaluated for its ability to associate with and influence normal development of the squid.

该行动资助了2000年美国国家科学基金会微生物生物学博士后研究奖学金。这项研究和培训计划是在动物发育机制领域，题为“海洋细菌费氏弧菌GacA/S感觉系统在细菌与其动物宿主夏威夷短尾乌贼共生过程中的作用”。本研究探讨了共生细菌V. fischeri如何调节与乌贼宿主Euprymna scolopes的关联。参与病原体毒力的感觉系统GacA/S在实验中发生突变，并评估了细菌的共生特性。该突变细菌被评估其与鱿鱼正常发育相关和影响的能力。
