0320721BurkenThe PIs represent all academic schools and colleges on the UMR campus, assuring that this instrumentation will be prominent in interdisciplinary research for decades, fostering productivity, funding, and knowledge to be widely disseminated. Specific research topics to which the new instrumentation is of overriding importance include: 1) Heavy metals sequestration in natural systems and constructed wetlands, 2) Uptake and volatilization of VOCs in phytoremediation systems, 3) Heavy metals transport in plants, 4) Degradation of chlorinated compounds by genetically engineered-root colonizing bacteria, .GEM-Phytoremediation., and 5) Extremophile bacteria in bioremediation. Many other research projects of environmental nature will be enhanced, though not sharing the natural systems focus. Broad access of instrumentation will be granted to faculty members and students across the UMR campus. Biological Sciences faculty and students will observe the greatest impact, as there are no greenhouse facilities available currently, even though many teach botany/plant physiology courses and perform plant-associated research. Additionally, student researchers from many departments will learn to utilize the state of the art equipment. These students and new ones attracted with advanced facilities will be trained to investigate environmental problems not yet imagined.

0320721 BurkenThe PI代表UMR校园内的所有学术学校和学院，确保这种仪器将在跨学科研究中突出几十年，促进生产力，资金和知识的广泛传播。 新仪器具有压倒一切的重要性的具体研究课题包括：1）自然系统和人工湿地中的重金属螯合，2）植物修复系统中VOC的吸收和挥发，3）植物中重金属的运输，4）基因工程根定殖细菌降解氯化化合物，.GEM-Phytoremediation。5）极端微生物在生物修复中的应用。许多其他环境性质的研究项目将得到加强，但不分享自然系统的重点。 仪器的广泛访问将被授予整个UMR校园的教职员工和学生。 生物科学教师和学生将观察到最大的影响，因为目前没有温室设施，尽管许多人教授植物学/植物生理学课程并进行植物相关研究。 此外，来自许多部门的学生研究人员将学习利用最先进的设备。 这些学生和被先进设施吸引的新学生将接受培训，以调查尚未想象到的环境问题。
