Multi-User Facilities for Molecular Marine Biology and Biotechnology

Abstract

This grant made possible the establishment of a molecular biology and biotechnology facility at the Hopkins Marine Station. The facility includes special use equipment - an oligonucleotide synthesize and automatic micromanipulator/microinjector and general equipment for molecular biology - an autoclave and upgraded centrifuge facility. The equipment is being used by members of 8 laboratories and involves studies on 1) heterozygosity, polymorphism and speciation of marine organisms, 2) identification of planktonic organisms with molecular probes, 3) physiological adaptation in marine plants and animals, 4) cell biology and neurobiology and 5) natural product chemistry. Keywords: Molecular marine biology; Marine biotechnology.
