This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a 5-year collaborative research study on the role of microbial symbionts in influencing host plant fitness and population dynamics. The $188,491 award was made to the University of New Mexico to investigate how fluctuations in the benefits provided by fungal endophytes to their grass host plants vary over time, potentially stabilizing host populations and promoting genetic...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $942,596.00 in funding to William Marsh Rice University to study bacterial deaminase toxins and their role in microbial interactions. The project aims to characterize the substrate preference and structure of these toxins, explore their biological functions, and develop tools to track toxin-mediated interactions in microbial communities. Key research areas include...
Rice University was awarded a $1,989,933 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2026. The grant will support research to elucidate the rules of cooperation and resiliency in microbial communities through stochastic graph grammars. This work aligns with the Biological Sciences program's goals of advancing the biological sciences and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program project grant awarded to William Marsh Rice University (Rice University) in the amount of $800,000 will fund the development of a high-throughput approach to build and study synthetic microbial communities.
