Minus 80 freezer

申请了零下80 ℃的冷冻箱。 这两个申请人的研究项目都涉及植物-微生物相互作用，在这两种情况下，都需要将微生物的集合冷冻在非常低的温度下。 两个申请人都在豆科植物固氮方面进行工作，需要收集根瘤菌，一个申请人还在植物生长促进根瘤菌和细菌素方面进行工作，两者都需要额外的菌株收集。 最后，在某些情况下，申请人从处理植物和对照植物的组织中分离代谢物，这可能需要-80 ℃冷冻，直到可以完成分析。 这些申请要求资金购买Forma Model 904超低温立式单门冷冻机。 申请人在研究成果和高素质人才培训方面非常富有成效。

A minus 80 C freezer is applied for.  The research programs of both applicants involve plant-microbe interactions, and in both cases there is a need to keep collections of microbes frozen at very low temperatures.  Both applicants conduct work in legume nitrogen fixation, requiring collections of rhizobia, and one also does work with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and bacteriocins, both requiring additional collections of strains.  Finally, in some cases the applicants isolate metabolites from the tissues of treated and control plants and this may require -80 C freezing until such time as the analyses can be completed.  The applications are requesting funds to purchase a Forma Model 904 ultra low temperature upright single door freezer.  The applicants are very productive in terms of research output and training of highly qualified personnel.
