A superspeed centrifuge that can achieve gravitational forces above 50,000 x g will be used by the three applicants to significantly advance their research programs in different areas of biotechnology. Samples ranging from minute micro-litre volumes in multi-well plates up to one litre can be processed by this centrifuge which facilitates experiments using molecular biology, protein chemistry and biochemistry. The research will advance our knowledge in food safety and the role of biofilms in spreading food borne disease, in bioremediation and the application of pollutant degrading bacteria, and in developmental biology with the study of stress-genes and their role in the growth of potatoes and fish in adverse environments.

三位申请人将使用一台能够实现 50,000 x g 以上重力的超高速离心机来显着推进他们在生物技术不同领域的研究项目。该离心机可以处理从多孔板中的微升体积到一升的样品，这有利于分子生物学、蛋白质化学和生物化学的实验。该研究将增进我们对食品安全和生物膜在传播食源性疾病中的作用、生物修复和污染物降解细菌的应用以及发育生物学（通过研究应激基因及其在马铃薯和鱼类在不利环境中生长中的作用）的了解。
