A preparative ultracentrifuge and two rotors will be placed in                  the Biology Department of George Mason University.  The high                    speed capability of the ultracentrifuge and the large volume                    capacity of the rotors are needed 1) for the continuation of                    research of at least five professors in the Biology Department of               this University, and 2) in the laboratory instruction                           undergraduate students in this Department.  By facilitating                     methodologies of cell fractionation, the ultracentrifuge will                   impact the following research projects:  the study of iron                      transport into the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the                        localization of the electron transport components of an iron-                   reducing bacterium, the isolation of membranes involved in                      extracellular polysaccharide synthesis and modification in red                  algae, the role of thymic growth factors on human breast cancer                 cells growing in culture, and the role of stress proteins in the                acquisition of stress tolerance.  As well, the instrument will be               used to train students in the research laboratory of each                       professor.  It will also be used to teach students in the                       classroom laboratory the basic techniques of cell fractionation                 and virus isolation.  Students enrolled in Biological                           Ultrastructure, Experiments in Microbiology, Techniques in                      Virology, and Advanced Techniques in Molecular Biology will use                 the ultracentrifuge in laboratory experiments.//
