0215817LandryThis Major Research Instrumentation award to University of Hawaii at Manoa supports the acquisition of a high-performance, multi-laser sorting flow cytometer to continue an active program of plankton community research in open-ocean ecosystems, as well as providing a shared-use facility for other research in marine biology, microbial ecology, cell regulation and culture of aquatic organisms. It will replace a heavily-used, but aging, flow cytometer that has been operated as a shared-use facility since 1991. The new instrument will provide important new capabilities, and will be particularly well suited for study of extremely small "picoplankton" such as the photosynthetic bacterium Prochlorococcus, that are important marine primary producers, but are very difficult to study with other techniques.***

0215817 Landry这项授予夏威夷大学马诺阿分校的主要研究仪器奖支持购买一台高性能、多激光分选式流式细胞仪，以继续开展开放海洋生态系统中浮游生物群落研究的活动计划，并为海洋生物学、微生物生态学、细胞调节和水生生物培养等领域的其他研究提供共享设施。它将取代自1991年以来一直作为共用设施运营的大量使用但老化的流式细胞仪。新仪器将提供重要的新能力，特别适合于研究极小的“微微浮游生物”，如光合细菌原氯球菌，这些细菌是重要的海洋初级生产者，但很难用其他技术进行研究。
