Increased fluxes of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) have recently occurred          in Antarctica as a result of an annual seasonal depletion of                    stratospheric ozone.  Karentz will conduct initial photobiological              investigations for the evaluation of the impact of increased UVR                exposures on Antarctic ecosystems.  The mutagenic potential of incident         UVR during and after the spring maximum of ozone depletion will be              quantified using a plasmid vector and Escherichia coli B-galactosidase          mutation screening.  DNA repair capabilities of species will be                 evaluated by the method of unscheduled DNA synthesis, and UVR-tolerance         characteristics will be assessed by observations of UVR dose-dependent          responses of growth and photosynthesis.  The data collected will provide        information for the evaluation of the possible repercussions of                 UVR-initiated changes in the taxonomic structure of Antarctic                   communities relative to primary productivity and trophic-level                  interactions.  This award is a Research Opportunities for Women award.
