This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Microbial biology for FY2003. 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 recent doctoral recipients to obtain additional training in microbial biology, to gain research experience under the sponsorship of established scientists, and to broaden their 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 "Role of plant phenolics in the rhizosphere degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls and polyaromatic hydrocarbons ." The role of plant root flavonoids as substrates for bacteria and fungi that degrade polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the rhizosphere microbial community is being examined using an RNA-based, stable isotope probing method. Microarrays are also being employed to investigate degradative gene induction in a PCB-degrading bacterium during growth on flavonoids and other plant phenolic compounds.

该行动为2003财年的微生物生物学提供了NSF博士后奖学金。 奖学金支持对原生动物，微藻，真菌，古细菌，细菌和病毒物种的基本生物学的培训和研究，这些生物学通常不被视为模型生物。此外，它为最近的博士获奖者提供了获得微生物生物学培训的机会，在既定科学家的赞助下获得研究经验，并在本科和研究生培训期间将其科学视野扩大到研究经验之外。 这些奖学金的进一步旨在帮助新科学家在传统的学科线索上指导他们的研究工作，并利用独特的研究资源，现场和设施，包括外国地点。研究和培训计划的题为“植物酚类在根际降解多氯苯基双苯基和多芳基氢化氢化机构中的作用”。 植物根类黄酮作为细菌和真菌的底物，在根际微生物群落中降解多氯化的双苯基（PCB）和多芳烃（PAHS）的作用正在使用基于RNA的基于RNA的，稳定的同位素探测方法进行检查。 在类黄酮和其他植物酚类化合物的生长过程中，还采用微阵列研究PCB降解细菌中降解基因诱导。
