9700339 Raskin This is an award to assist in the purchase of equipment for conduct of research on microbial ecology of biological processes used for treatment of wastewater, bioremediation of xenobiotic compounds, and for the detection and viability of waterborne pathogens. The major use of the equipment will be for research on performance of anaerobic bioreactors, development of an oligonucleotide probe data base and to study causes and control of foaming in suspended growth bioprocessing reactors. In addition the equipment will support research by the investigator's colleagues Dr. Snoeyink in his research on adsorption water treatment processes, Dr. Marinas in research on chemisorption capacity of titanium dioxide for treatment of air, and Drs. Werth and Sanford who are working on insitu bioremediation of contaminated aquifers. This award will provide the investigator and her colleagues with equipment that can be used to address a unique approach to studying anaerobic ecosystems and re-addressing the "long- standing problems" of foaming and bulking experienced with suspended growth bioreactors as well as the newer challenges in nutrient removal from wastewater by use of biological processes. The proposal leading to this award was submitted in response to NSF 93-155, Research Equipment Grant Program. ***

9700339 Raskin 该奖项旨在协助购买用于废水处理、外源化合物生物修复以及水生病原体检测和活力的生物过程的微生物生态学研究的设备。 该设备的主要用途将是研究厌氧生物反应器的性能、开发寡核苷酸探针数据库以及研究悬浮生长生物加工反应器中泡沫的原因和控制。 此外，该设备还将支持研究者的同事 Snoeyink 博士的吸附水处理工艺研究、Marinas 博士的二氧化钛化学吸附能力研究以及空气处理研究。沃斯和桑福德正在研究受污染含水层的原位生物修复。 该奖项将为研究者和她的同事提供设备，可用于研究厌氧生态系统的独特方法，并重新解决悬浮生长生物反应器所经历的发泡和膨胀的“长期存在的问题”以及新的挑战利用生物过程从废水中去除营养物。 获得该奖项的提案是为了响应 NSF 93-155 研究设备资助计划而提交的。 ***
