The laboratory in microbial physiology, previously mundane and emphasizing the memorization of metabolic pathways and structures of the bacterial cell, is being revitalized with the purchase of two calorimeters, an oxygen electrode, and a spectrophotometer. The calorimeters are used for teaching thermodynamics, and the oxygen electrode and spectrophotometer are used for teaching enzymology. Students will see that thermodynamics and enzymology can be used to solve research problems in microbiology. Faculty benefit because of the increased breadth and the challenge of teaching the theory and techniques. The instruments are also to be used for undergraduate research projects which are an integral part of the curriculum. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.

微生物生理学的实验室以前是世俗的，并强调了细菌细胞的代谢途径和结构的记忆，正在通过购买两个量热计，一个氧电极和分光光度计的购买来振兴。量热计用于教学热力学，氧电极和分光光度计用于教授酶学。 学生将看到热力学和酶学可用于解决微生物学中的研究问题。教师受益，因为教学理论和技术的广度增加和挑战。这些工具还将用于本科研究项目，这是课程中不可或缺的一部分。大学的贡献等于该奖项。
