Conference: Participant Costs for the VIIth Cyanobacterial Workshop, being held in Pacific Grove, CA

部分支持与2001年第七届蓝藻研讨会相关的参与者费用。资金将用于支付：研究生，博士后研究员，助理教授的部分费用，他们将作为演讲者和会议主席运行该项目；外国主讲人；两名受邀演讲者和多达四名有经济需要的资深科学家。2001年的研讨会在加利福尼亚州太平洋格罗夫的Asilomar会议中心举行，主题为“信号事件”，主题为信号转导。主题演讲将由法国巴黎巴斯德研究所微生物生理学联合会主任Nicole Tandeau de Marsac博士发表。演讲将重点关注蛋白质磷酸化及其在信号传导过程中的作用。通过对超过五种不同蓝藻的全基因组分析，信号转导途径的重要性将在整个会议中得到强调。基因组学会议将讨论最近完成的Nostoc punctiformme ATCC 29133（迄今为止最大的微生物基因组测序）和Anabaena sp.PCC 7120基因组的数据。进一步的会议将强调固氮、分化、光合作用和蓝藻生理学和分子生态学的最新进展。

Partial support for participant costs associated with the VIIth Cyanobacterial Workshop,2001 is being provided. Funds are being used to cover: a portion of the expenses for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, assistant professors who will run the program as speakers and session chairs; a foreign keynote speaker; two invited speakers and up to four senior scientists in financial need. The 2001 Workshop is being held at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, CA with the title "A Signal Event" and the theme of signal transduction. The Keynote Address will be given by Dr Nicole Tandeau de Marsac, the Head of the Unite de Physiologie Microbienne, Institut Pasteur, Paris, France. The address will focus on aspects of protein phosphorylation and its role in signaling processes. The importance of signal transduction pathways -as becoming realized through the complete genome analysis of more than five different cyanobacteria -will be highlighted throughout the sessions. A session on genomics will discuss data derived from recent completion of the genomes of Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133 -the largest microbial genome sequenced to date -and Anabaena sp.PCC 7120. Further sessions will emphasize recent developments in nitrogen fixation, differentiation, photosynthesis and cyanobacterial physiology and molecular ecology.
