KYOUNG@BIONET-20.BIO.NET (Kevin Dale Young) (05/03/89)
POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
A postdoctoral position is available to study microbial
desulfurization of coal (for a general review, see Annual Review
of Microbiology 39:371-389, 1985).
The project will consist of identifying relevant
desulfurization genes from environmental Pseudomonas isolates,
cloning these, and engineering the genes for increased expression
in Pseudomonas and Thiobacillus species. Techniques to be used
include transposon mutagenesis, genomic library constructions,
chromosomal mapping, subcloning, gene and protein fusions to lacZ
or phoA, promoter identification and enhancement by mutagenesis,
and extension of cloning technology to Thiobacillus species.

I will be at the Annual Meeting of ASM in New Orleans, May
14 to 18, 1989, should anyone wish to contact me and interview
while there. Please contact me before that time, if possible, to
arrange a meeting.
