This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Microbial Biology for FY2003. The fellowship supports training and research on the basic biology of protozoan, microalgal, fungal, archaeal, bacterial and viral species that are not generally considered to be model organisms. Further, it provides opportunities for recent doctoral recipients to obtain additional training in microbial biology, to gain research experience under the sponsorship of established scientists, and to broaden their scientific horizons beyond the research experiences during the undergraduate and graduate training. These fellowships are further designed to assist new scientists to direct their research efforts across traditional disciplinary lines and to avail themselves of unique research resources, sites, and facilities, including foreign locations.The research and training plan is entitled "Coordination of nuclear division in a fungal cell with thousands of nuclei." This research studies the regulation of nuclear division in the multinucleated, filamentous fungus Ashbya gossypii. In this organism, neighboring nuclei display independent cell cycles resulting in asynchronous mitoses within a common cytoplasm. Using cell biological and molecular genetic approaches, the research evaluates the key molecular controls of the unique cell cycle.

该行动资助了2003财年美国国家科学基金会微生物生物学博士后奖学金。该奖学金支持一般不被认为是模式生物的原生动物、微藻、真菌、古细菌、细菌和病毒物种的基本生物学培训和研究。此外，它为最近的博士学位获得者提供了在微生物生物学方面获得额外培训的机会，在知名科学家的赞助下获得研究经验，并在本科和研究生培训期间拓宽他们的科学视野。这些研究金的进一步目的是帮助新科学家指导他们的研究工作跨越传统的学科界线，并利用独特的研究资源、地点和设施，包括国外的地点。这项研究和培训计划的题目是“具有数千个细胞核的真菌细胞的核分裂协调”。本研究研究了多核丝状真菌棉Ashbya gossypii的核分裂调控。在这种生物体中，相邻的细胞核显示独立的细胞周期，导致在一个共同的细胞质内发生异步有丝分裂。利用细胞生物学和分子遗传学方法，研究评估了独特细胞周期的关键分子控制。
