Specifically, the researchers will conduct a comprehensive analysis using various...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant of $600,000 awarded to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska aims to identify the specific antimicrobial molecules produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas protegens PBL3 and understand how they inhibit the growth of the plant pathogen Burkholderia glumae, which causes bacterial panicle blight in rice. The project combines multidisciplinary approaches including genetics, comparative genomics,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $289,448 to Johnson C. Smith University, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU), to investigate the antimicrobial properties of green-synthesized silver nanoparticles derived from citrus fruit extracts against Streptococcus pneumoniae. The three-year project aims to: (I) determine the antibiotic influence of plant extracts on S. pneumoniae, (II) examine the effect of...
This $849,713 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to elucidate RNA-RNA interaction networks during interbacterial interactions involving the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The research team at Boston Children's Hospital seeks to define the small RNA (sRNA) interaction network in P. aeruginosa and decode the regulatory roles played by sRNAs during its interactions with other bacteria. The project will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 will fund a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship to research the adaptive response of bacteria to bacteriophage infection and high hydrostatic pressure. The fellow will develop novel fluorescence microscopy techniques to quantify bacterial growth, cell size, and morphology under these environmental stressors using model organisms E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. piezotolerans. The project...
