$99,545Benefits:
New software tools for designing specific probes and a prototype dsrAB microarray for detecting SRB populations will be developed through the Phase I support. On one hand, this will directly help address the outlined objectives of the proposed Phase II study for developing more comprehensive GeoChip of commercial values for studying subsurface biogeochemical processes important to environmental cleanup and management. On the other hand, the richer information on SRB will strengthen the commercial potential and sales of the current version of GeoChip for studying subsurface microbial communities, which has been utilized by many scientists from different countries. In addition, the developed GeoChip and computational tools will be not only important for assessing subsurface microbial communities, but also useful for studying microbial communities in general from other environments such as soils, marine sediments, waste waters, and biocorrosion.
