This two-year National Science Foundation project grant of $138,000 supports research into the evolution of bacterial strategies for evading predation by amoebae. The grant was awarded on July 1, 2021 to the University of Missouri-St. Louis under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) administered by NSF's Division of Biological Infrastructure.
The Biological Sciences program aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major issues. This award will further those goals by funding research into how bacteria have evolved to avoid being consumed by amoebae, with the results deepening scientific insight into bacterial adaptation and host-pathogen interactions.
