项目摘要

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 "Evolution of genome processing in Ciliates, eukaryotic microorganisms with dimorphic nuclei." Ciliates are eukaryotic microorganisms that possess two types of nuclei, a germline micronucleus and a somatic macronucleus. Development of the macronucleus involves processing of the genome, including chromosome fragmentation, sequence excision, and amplification. This study examines diverse lineages of ciliates, which vary in extent of processing, in order to elucidate the evolution of genome processing.

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纪律线上指导他们的研究工作，并利用包括外国位置在内的独特研究资源，现场和设施。研究和培训计划的标题为“纤毛中基因组加工的演变，真核微生物，具有二型核的真核微生物”。纤毛是真核微生物，具有两种类型的核，一种种系微核和躯体大核。大核的发展涉及基因组的处理，包括染色体碎片，序列切除和扩增。这项研究检查了需要次的纤毛谱系，这些纤毛谱的范围在处理程度上有所不同，以阐明基因组加工的演变。
