- Description
- This contract action was not awarded as a fixed price type because uncertainties involved in contract performance did not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed price contract. As such, a cost-reimbursement type action was awarded (FAR 16.301-2). The purpose of the proposed work is to further develop MBTs that are useful to assess biodegradation potential and activity at contaminated field sites and this goal will be pursued in the context of perchlorate. Aligned with this purpose, the project has two main objectives. The first objective is to refine quantitive assays that target functional genes related to perchlorate reduction. The second is to improve the Prokaryotic cDNA Subtraction protocol, to increase the likelihood of identifying biodegradation genes in novel environmental bacteria. The protocol will be applied to a perchlorate-reducing bacterium to expand the database of functional gene sequences ralated to perchlorate reduction.
