Professor: J. Musa � researcher. Investigate how nutrients turn around in a mangrove forest was affected by the impact of sewage treatment plant outflow. The project provided experience in the isolation of coliform using MTF, P/A, MF techniques, and spectrophotometer. The use of API 20E biochemical identification system and standard micro plating methods. Metropolitan University, Natural Science Dept.; San Juan, PR 1993-94 Professor: R. Lara � research Associate Investigate the roll of the NADP-Thioredoxin reductase system in the biochemical pathway of the detoxification of selenium in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. Experiments were concerned with the production of monoclonal antibody against Thioredoxin protein. The project provides experience in techniques for mieloma cell tissue culture, culture media preparation, and determination of cellular viability by direct microscopic count. |
