This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Microbial Biology for FY2001. The fellowship supports training and research on the basic biology of protozoan, microalgal, fungal, archaeal, bacterial and viral species that are not generally considered to be model organisms. Further, it provides opportunities for a recent doctoral recipients to obtain additional training in microbial biology, to gain research experience under the sponsorship of established scientists, and to broaden his/her scientific horizons beyond the research experiences during the undergraduate and graduate training. These fellowships are further designed to assist new scientists to direct their research efforts across traditional disciplinary lines and to avail themselves of unique research resources, sites, and facilities, including foreign locations. The research and training plan is entitled "Genetic Diversity in Benzoate Degrading Denitrifying Bacteria and Environmental Samples." Genetic diversity of 16S rRNA, nitrite reductase, and benzoyl-CoA reductase in bacteria capable of degrading benzoate under denitrifying conditions are being investigated with bacterial pure cultures isolated from estuarine sediments of a contaminated landfill site. In addition, DNAs will be extracted directly from the same sediment and environmental DNA clonal libraries (metagenome library) will be constructed to link the different kind of genetic information obtained from 16S rRNA genes and functional genes involved in benzoate degradation and denitrification in the environment.

这项行动资助了 2001 财年 NSF 微生物学博士后奖学金。 该奖学金支持对原生动物、微藻、真菌、古菌、细菌和病毒物种的基础生物学进行培训和研究，这些物种通常不被认为是模式生物。此外，它还为应届博士生提供了获得微生物生物学方面额外培训的机会，在知名科学家的资助下获得研究经验，并在本科生和研究生培训期间拓宽他/她的科学视野。这些奖学金进一步旨在帮助新科学家跨越传统学科领域开展研究工作，并利用独特的研究资源、地点和设施，包括国外地点。该研究和培训计划的标题是“苯甲酸盐降解反硝化细菌和环境样本的遗传多样性”。 正在利用从受污染垃圾填埋场的河口沉积物中分离的细菌纯培养物来研究能够在反硝化条件下降解苯甲酸盐的细菌中的 16S rRNA、亚硝酸盐还原酶和苯甲酰辅酶 A 还原酶的遗传多样性。此外，将直接从同一沉积物中提取DNA，并构建环境DNA克隆文库（宏基因组文库），以链接从16S rRNA基因和参与环境中苯甲酸盐降解和反硝化的功能基因获得的不同种类的遗传信息。
