U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Analysis of Gene Expression during Acclimation of Cyanobacteria to Stress Conditions

9909967格罗斯曼这个为期三年的美法合作海洋微生物生物学研究奖的获得者包括位于斯坦福大学的华盛顿卡内基研究所的阿瑟·格罗斯曼和博士后研究员，以及法国国家科学研究中心罗斯科夫生物站的丹尼尔·沃洛特。他们将合作研究淡水和海洋蓝藻的生理过程以及允许适应环境变化的控制机制。使用一种名为差异显示的技术，研究人员提议识别淡水聚球藻和原氯球菌中环境引发的基因表达变化。美国调查人员将光合细菌方面的专业知识带到了这次合作中。法国调查人员在生物海洋学方面的专业知识对此起到了补充作用。他们的合作将促进对蓝藻在环境条件改变时的过程的理解，以及这些适应过程如何适应蓝藻能够茁壮成长的不同生境。这项奖励将支持这一国际合作的增量成本；即前往法国罗斯科夫的旅费以及美国研究人员和博士后研究员的生活费。

9909967 GrossmanThis three-year award for U.S.-France cooperative research in marine microbial biology involves Arthur Grossman and a postdoctoral researcher at the Carnegie Institute of Washington, located at Stanford University, and Daniel Vaulot of the Roscoff Biological Station of the French National Center for Scientific Research. They will collaborate on studies of physiological processes in freshwater and marine cyanobacteria and the control mechanism, which allows acclimation to environmental change. Using a technique known as differential display, the investigators propose to identify environmentally triggered changes in gene expression in freshwater Synechoccus and Prochlorococcus. The U.S. investigators bring to this collaboration expertise in photosynthetic bacteria. This is complemented by the French investigator's expertise in biological oceanography. Their collaboration will advance understanding of the processes in cyanobacteria when environmental conditions are altered and how these acclimation processes are tailored to the diverse habitats in which cyanobacteria can thrive. This award will support the incremental costs of this international collaboration; that is, the travel to Roscoff, France and subsistence expenses of the U.S. investigator and postdoctoral researcher.
