Tenth International Spores Conference, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, March 23-27, 1988

第10届国际孢子会议将于1988年3月23日至27日在马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的海洋生物实验室举行。会议将汇集来自世界各地对原核生物发育和分化感兴趣的学术和工业实验室的科学家。会议的主要重点将是细菌孢子的形成，但至少有一届会议将专门讨论其他微生物的发展和全球调控问题。会议将集中讨论产孢过程中基因表达的调节，包括产孢过程的开始、孢子萌发的生理学、孢子的结构和功能研究，包括孢子抗性机制，其中一届会议将讨论与产孢有关的具有工业重要性的产品，包括杀虫剂和外酶。九次会议的正式计划将辅以海报会议和关于具体议题的非正式圆桌讨论。

The 10th International Spores Conference will be held at the Marine Biological Laboratories, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, from March 23 through March 27, l988. The Conference will bring scientists from all over the world, both from academic and industrial laboratories, who are interested in prokaryotic development and differentiation. The primary emphasis of the Conference will be on bacterial sporulation, but at least one session will be devoted to problems of development and global regulation in other mocroorganisms. The Conference will focus on the regulation of gene expression during sporulation, including the initiation of the process, the physiology of spores germination, structural and functional studies of spores, including mechanisms of spore resistance, and one session will deal with sporulation related products of industrial importance, including insecticides and exoenzymes. The formal program of nine sessions will be supplemented by poster sessions and informal round table discussions on specific topics.
