0607368VanderGheynstThis project seeks to improve water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion technology for the storage and delivery of microorganisms to aquatic ecosystems. The successful outcome from this research has the potential to improve biological methods for mosquito control and thus could have significant health benefits; this could be extremely important worldwide. The technology potentially could be applied to other systems yielding a reduction in the need for chemical pesticides. Through the use of experimentation and modeling, the researchers will investigate formulation alternatives that yield long-term storage of microorganisms and their controlled release. The research includes development of models to elucidate water transport in formulations to predict stability and rates of controlled release of microorganisms. The work builds upon the PI's previous research and has a strong theoretical foundation. The combination of experimental work, coupled with the further development of theoretical models, should enhance the probability of success.

0607368Vandergheynstthis项目旨在改善油油（W/O）乳液技术，以将微生物储存和传递到水生生态系统中。这项研究的成功结果有可能改善蚊子控制的生物学方法，因此可能具有重大的健康益处。这可能是全球极为重要的。该技术可能会应用于其他系统，从而减少了对化学农药的需求。通过使用实验和建模，研究人员将研究制定替代方法，以产生微生物的长期存储及其受控释放。该研究包括开发模型以阐明制剂中的水运输，以预测微生物的受控释放速率。这项工作建立在PI先前的研究基础上，并具有强大的理论基础。实验工作的结合，再加上理论模型的进一步发展，应提高成功的可能性。
