The genus Pseudomonas comprises a diverse group of bacteria that are involved in the pathogenicity of plants and animals including humans, in the biotransformation of natural and synthetic wastes including highly toxic hazardous compounds and in the development of new industrial products such as surfactants, polysaccharides, various organic acids, enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, antibiotics and a host of other compounds. It is, therefore, no accident that the first two genetically altered strains that have been proposed to be released into the environment for protection of plants from frost-related damage or the attack by insect pests are pseudomonads viz. P. syringae and P. fluorescens. Although intense work in various aspects of Pseudomonas biology has been going on in both the United States and elsewhere in the world, the last major meeting on Pseudomonas held in the United States was more than a decade ago---an ASM sponsored symposium in 1976 in Orlando, Florida. The proposed meeting in Chicago during July 9-13, 1989 is therefore long overdue and is expected to attract more than 400 participants from the international scientific community.

假单胞菌属由各种各样的细菌组成，这些细菌参与了包括人类在内的动植物的致病性，参与了包括剧毒危险化合物在内的天然和合成废物的生物转化，以及参与了表面活性剂、多糖、各种有机酸、酶、维生素、氨基酸等新工业产品的开发。抗生素和许多其他化合物。因此，头两个被提议释放到环境中以保护植物免受霜冻相关损害或害虫攻击的转基因菌株都是假单胞菌，这并不是偶然的。丁香假单胞菌和荧光假单胞菌。尽管假单胞菌生物学的各个方面一直在美国和世界其他地方进行着紧张的工作，但上一次在美国举行关于假单胞菌的重要会议是在十多年前-1976年在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的ASM主办的研讨会。因此，拟议于1989年7月9日至13日在芝加哥举行的会议早就应该举行，预计将吸引来自国际科学界的400多名与会者。
