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.

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跨越传统学科的研究工作，并利用独特的研究资源、地点和设施，包括外国地点。研究和培训计划的标题是“纤毛虫基因组加工的进化，具有二型核的真核微生物。“纤毛虫是真核微生物，具有两种类型的细胞核，一个生殖细胞微核和一个体细胞大核。大核的发育涉及基因组的加工，包括染色体片段化、序列切除和扩增。本研究探讨了不同谱系的纤毛虫，不同程度的加工，以阐明基因组加工的进化。
