Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for FY 1997

摘要 DBI 9750341 Claire S.婷 这项行动为1997年国家科学基金会与环境有关的生物科学博士后研究金提供资金。 该奖学金为研究员提供了一个机会，使他们能够在博士学位之外获得额外的科学培训，并在分子，细胞，生物体，种群，在国家科学基金会生物科学理事会支持的任何生物学领域的社区和/或生态系统水平。 每项研究金资助一项研究和培训计划，该计划将在一个赞助实验室进行。 该奖学金的研究和培训计划的标题是“关键环境因素调节光合基因表达的一种新的原核生物。“海洋原绿球藻是唯一一种被发现含有叶绿素a/B捕光天线以及藻胆蛋白、藻红蛋白的光合原核生物。 本研究探讨了藻红蛋白在该生物体中的功能意义。 调节藻红蛋白基因表达和积累的机制正在不同的光和营养水平下确定。

Abstract DBI 9750341 Claire S. Ting This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for 1997. This fellowship provides an opportunity for the Fellow to gain additional scientific training beyond the doctoral degree and to pursue innovative and imaginative into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the interactions between organisms and their environment at the molecular, cellular, organismal, population, community and/or ecosystem level in any area of biology supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences of the National Science Foundation. Each fellowship supports a research and training plan to be carried out in a sponsoring laboratory. The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "Key Environmental Factors Regulating Photosynthetic Gene Expression in a Novel Prokaryote." Prochlorococcus marinus is the only photosynthetic prokaryote which has been found to contain a chlorophyll a/b light-harvesting antenna as well as the phycobiliprotein, phycoerythrin. This research addresses the functional significance of phycoerythrin in this organism. The mechanisms that regulate phycoerythrin gene expression and accumulation are being determined under different light and nutrient levels.
