Research Fellowships in Marine Biotechnolgy: Characterization of Molecular Interactions in Algal/ Cnidarian Symbioses

小行星9321433 本研究金的目的是在海洋生物技术是应用分子技术的刺胞动物/藻类共生宿主和内共生体之间的相互作用的调查。 本研究将利用苍白扁藻/共生藻的共生关系，在受控蛋白质和RNA合成的水平上研究寄生虫与宿主之间的相互作用。 该项目代表了一个跨学科的方法，以进一步了解刺胞动物/藻类共生的相互作用。 目前的生理和生化知识表明，宿主调节藻类内共生体的生长，代谢产物的释放和可能的代谢。宿主与共生体在分子水平上的相互作用将在分子水平上进行研究，以了解是什么原因导致藻类内共生体中的生理变化以及宿主如何参与调节这些变化。 ***

9321433 Stochaj The objective of this Research Fellowship in Marine biotechnology is to apply molecular techniques to the investigation of interactions between host and endosymbiont in a cnidarian/algal symbiosis. Using the Aiptasia pallida/Symbiodinium sp. symbiosis, this project will examine interactions between the alga and the host at the levels of controlled protein and RNA synthesis. The project represents an interdisciplinary approach to further our knowledge on interactions in cnidarian/algal symbioses. Current physiological and biochemical knowledge suggests that the host regulates growth, release of metabolites and possibly the metabolism of the algal endosymbiont. The interaction between the host and symbiont on the molecular level will be examined on the molecular level in order to understand what causes the physiological changes noted in the algal endosymbiont and how the host may be involved in regulating these changes. ***
