This action funds an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY 2008. The fellowship supports a research and training plan in a host laboratory for the Fellow who also presents a plan to broaden participation in biology. The title of the research and training plan for this fellowship to Ludmilla Aristilde is "Investigating Cellular Regulation in Marine Phytoplankton" The host institution for this research is Princeton University and the sponsoring scientist is Dr. François M. M. Morel.Phytoplankton in the ocean play a major role in global carbon and sulfur cycles by creating and secreting many different carbon-rich and sulfur-containing compounds, which affect both the chemistry of the ocean and the dynamics of microbial and algal foodwebs. Using Emilina huxleyi as a model organism, this research seeks to understand how and where in the cell one of these sulfur-containing compounds, dimethylsulfoniopropionate, is synthesized and the relationship of this synthesis to photosynthetic reactions in the plankton. The training objectives are to learn a combination of microbiological and biochemical techniques to address a problem of global importance at the molecular level and to work at the interface of environmental health and environmental biology. As atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide continue to increase and the temperature of the ocean surface also continues to rise, plankton species may be seen to alter their metabolism including their rates of photosynthesis. This research promises to have broader impacts by contributing to the assessment of the impacts of future climate change on the earth's ecosystems.

这项行动为2008财年的NSF少数族裔研究奖学金提供了资金。该奖学金支持该研究员的主机实验室的研究和培训计划，该研究员还提出了扩大生物学参与计划的计划。 The title of the research and training plan for this fellowship to Ludmilla Aristilde is "Investigating Cellular Regulation in Marine Phytoplankton" The host institution for this research is Princeton University and the sponsoring scientist Is Dr. François M. M. Morel.Phytoplankton in the ocean play a major role in global carbon and sulfur cycles by creating and secreting many different carbon-rich and sulfur-containing化合物，它们都影响海洋的化学和微生物和藻类食品的动力学。该研究将Emilina Huxleyi作为模型生物，试图了解这些含硫化合物中的一种，即二甲基磺胺二丙酸酯酸酯，并合成了这种合成与浮游浮游生物中光合作反应的关系。培训目标是学习微生物学和生化技术的结合，以解决分子层的全球重要性问题，并在环境健康和环境生物学的界面上工作。随着二氧化碳的大气水平继续升高，海面的温度也继续升高，可以看到浮游生物物种会改变其新陈代谢，包括光合作用率。这项研究有望通过评估未来气候变化对地球生态系统的影响，从而产生更广泛的影响。
