Equipment for an Undergraduate Microbiology Laboratory.

该项目正在提供一种现代化、安全的蒸汽高压灭菌器，用于对本科生微生物学教学中使用的培养介质和用品进行消毒，这些本科生大多是西班牙裔妇女。购置一台新的现代蒸汽灭菌器为该部门提供了一种更有效和更可靠的方法来制备细菌培养介质。这一改进使参加微生物学课程的学生受益，为他们提供了微生物培养和鉴定教学所需的材料。接受资助的机构正在将NSF的奖励与从非联邦来源获得的同等金额相匹配。

This project is providing a modern, safe steam autoclave for the sterilization of culture media and supplies used in the teaching of microbiology to undergraduates, most of whom are Hispanic women. The acquisition of a new modern steam autoclave provides the department with a more efficient and reliable means of preparing bacteriological culture media. This improvement benefits the students enrolled in microbiology courses by providing them with the required materials for instruction in the culture and identification of microorganisms. The grantee institution is matching the NSF award with an equal sum obtained from non-Federal sources.
