Funding is anticipated for a three years master's student program
at the University of West Florida to study interactions between bacteria
and protists that affect mineralization of jet fuel in soils. The funding
is adjunct to a project involving protist effects on the mineralization of
PCBs. The University of West Florida has a growing program in
environmental microbiology that includes protist biology, microbial
ecology, physiology, and molecular biology. Interaction with personnel at
the US EPA Gulf Breeze Environmental Research Laboratory is anticipated.
Funding provides for salary, tuition, supplies, and travel.
Interested persons should contact Dr. Richard Snyder
