This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $2,396,627 to Purdue University from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026. The grant supports research titled "MIM: Microbial Division of Labor in Polysaccharide-Degrading Communities." Purdue University will investigate how microbial communities divide labor to degrade complex plant polysaccharides. Baylor University, Washington State University, the University of Nebraska, and Washington State University also receive sub-awards under the grant to collaborate on this research. The NSF Biological Sciences program aims to advance fundamental knowledge in life sciences through support of basic research, and this grant appears aligned with that goal by furthering understanding of microbial degradation processes.
