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 "Linking community composition and gene expression of bacterial cells to rates of carbon and nutrient cycling in marsh sediments with changing salinity." This research explores bacterial dynamics in marsh sediments as a function of fluctuating salinity. rRNA analysis is being used to analyze community composition and identification of dominant taxa. Concurrently, mRNA analysis is used to determine the expression of key functional genes. This work will link interactions between individual microbial populations to sediment carbon dioxide production and nutrient retention.

该行动为2003财年的微生物生物学提供了NSF博士后奖学金。 奖学金支持对原生动物，微藻，真菌，古细菌，细菌和病毒物种的基本生物学的培训和研究，这些生物学通常不被视为模型生物。此外，它为最近的博士获奖者提供了获得微生物生物学培训的机会，在既定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将其科学视野扩大到研究经验之外。 这些奖学金的进一步旨在帮助新科学家在传统的学科线索上指导他们的研究工作，并利用包括外国地点在内的独特研究资源，地点和设施。研究和培训计划的标题为“将细菌细胞的社区组成和基因表达与碳质沉积物变化的碳和营养循环速率联系起来。” 这项研究探讨了沼泽沉积物中的细菌动力学，这是盐度波动的函数。 RRNA分析用于分析社区组成和识别主要分类单元。同时，mRNA分析用于确定关键功能基因的表达。这项工作将将单个微生物种群之间的相互作用与沉积物二氧化碳生产和养分保留联系起来。
