Conference on Priorities in Bacterial Diversity Research; East Lansing, MI; June, 1992

微生物分类学家和生态学家的会议将在 审议评估和理解 细菌的生物多样性。 会议的一个主要目标是 优先考虑细菌多样性的研究需求。 要解决的问题包括恢复的困难 细菌从自然栖息地，发展的挑战， 已知物种的清单，新物种的分离， 极端和偏远的栖息地，细菌的地理分布， 保护新的栖息地及其原核生物群。的 与会者将讨论如何数据的特点，新的 应分析和传播物种。 的建议 将在国际期刊上发表 对这一领域感兴趣的科学家们所看到的。

A conference of microbial taxonomists and ecologists will be held to consider the problems of assessing and understanding the biodiversity of bacteria. A major goal of the conference is to set priorities on the research needs in bacterial diversity. Topics to be addressed include the difficulties of recovering bacteria from natural habitats, the challenges of developing an inventory of known species, the isolation of new species from extreme and remote habitats, the biogeography of bacteria, and the preservation of novel habitats, and their procaryobiota. The conferees will discuss how data on the characteristics of new species should be analyzed and disseminated. The recommendations from the conference will be published in international journals seen by scientists with an interest in this field.
