MRI: Acquisition of a Flow Cytometer for Multiparametric Analysis of Environmental, Microbial, and Aquatic Samples at UC Merced.

在Marcos Garcia-Ojeda博士的指导下，加州大学在默塞德获得了一项奖励，以购买一台用于环境研究和教学的流式细胞仪。 该仪器将使研究人员能够对微生物群落和海水样本中的细胞进行分类，以供进一步研究。 这项研究将包括珊瑚及其藻类共生体、细菌的抗生素耐药性、海水中浮游植物的组成以及血管系统中细胞分化的研究。 这所大学的学生中有很大一部分是少数民族，科学专业的学生也占很大比例，新仪器将有利于他们的课程和研究项目。 该仪器将加强这个新的和不断增长的校园在加州的中央谷的研究基础设施。

An award has been made to the University of California at Merced under the direction of Dr. Marcos Garcia-Ojeda for the acquisition of a flow cytometer for use in environmental research and teaching. The instrument will allow researchers to sort cells in samples from microbial communities and marine water samples for further study. The research will include studies of corals and their algal symbionts, antibiotic resistance in bacteria, composition of phytoplankton in seawater, and cell differentiation in vascular systems. The university has a large fraction of ethnic minorities in its student body and a large proportion of science majors, and the new instrument will benefit their coursework and research projects. The instrument will enhance the research infrastructure of this new and growing campus in the Central Valley of California.
