Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Microbial Biology for FY 2003

这一行动为2003财政年度NSF微生物生物学博士后奖学金提供资金。 该研究金支持关于原生动物、微藻、真菌、古菌、细菌和病毒物种的基础生物学的培训和研究，这些物种通常不被视为模式生物。此外，它为最近的博士生获得微生物生物学的额外培训提供了机会，在既定科学家的赞助下获得研究经验，并拓宽他们的科学视野，超越本科和研究生培训期间的研究经验。 这些奖学金还旨在帮助新科学家指导他们的研究工作跨越传统学科，并利用独特的研究资源、地点和设施，包括国外地点。研究和培训计划的标题是“具有数千个核的真菌细胞核分裂的协调”。“这项研究研究了多核丝状真菌棉阿舒囊菌核分裂的调节。 在这种生物体中，相邻的细胞核显示独立的细胞周期，导致在共同的细胞质内的异步有丝分裂。 利用细胞生物学和分子遗传学方法，该研究评估了独特细胞周期的关键分子控制。

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.
