This grant from the U.S. Geological Survey¿s Great Lakes Science Center aims to fund research on targeting nitrogen-fixing bacterial endophytes to control the growth of Phragmites australis. The study will focus on characterizing bacterial communities in seeds and tissues, conducting nitrogen fixation experiments, and exploring microbial inhibitors for Phragmites management in low nitrogen areas. Applications are open until July 12, 2013.

| Description:: | U.S. Geological Survey¿s (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center is offering a funding opportunity for research on ¿Truncating the Competitive Ability of Phragmites by Targeting its Nitrogen-Fixing Bacterial Endophytes.¿ This research will study endophytic bacteria in Phragmites australis (Common Reed) to characterize bacterial assemblages in seeds and meristematic tissues collected from several sites, conduct 15N2 assimilation experiments to identify sites of nitrogen fixation within plants, and evaluate potential application of a non-environmentally toxic bacterial microbial inhibitor as a method to limit Phragmites growth in low nitrogen environments. |
