The Gordon Research Conference on the Molecular Basis of Microbial One-Carbon Metabolism will be held this coming summer. This will be the third such meeting to be held as a Gordon Research Conference, but it is the eleventh in a twenty-seven year old tradition. This meeting brings together a diverse group of researchers who study a wide variety of microbes from the Eucarya, Archaea and the Bacteria that are unified by their metabolism of one-carbon compounds, and thus often use common genes and enzymes. The C-1 compounds metabolized by these organisms are of global environmental impact and many are of industrial interest. The pathways studied have implications for studies in evolution, structural biology, enzyme mechanism, gene regulation, ecology, and applied biology. With recent advances in the biochemical, molecular biological, genetic, and genomic techniques used to examine C-1 utilizing microbes that have greatly augmented recent fundamental discoveries, the field is robust, and this vigor is reflected in the diverse selection of speakers representing different disciplines interested in microbial C-1 metabolism. Previous year's conferences have been resounding successes, and have provided impetus and inspiration to both the established scientist and to those who are still in training. The dedicated nature of the conference to microbial C-1 metabolism provides a otherwise unavailable opportunity for the attendees to meet and interact with those sharing similar interests from around the globe. The auspices of the GRC provide an excellent environment in which the interaction of younger and more established scientists is fostered, and concerted efforts have been made by the organizers to have junior scientists share the main speaking platform with more seasoned workers. Partial funding for the conference is sought which will be used to establish a fellowship fund for those younger scientists who otherwise might lack the means to attend the conference. In addition, support is needed to in part defray the registration costs of speakers and discussion leaders.

戈登研究会议的微生物一碳代谢的分子基础将于今年夏天举行。这将是第三次这样的会议将举行的戈登研究会议，但它是第十一次在一个27岁的传统。这次会议汇集了一组不同的研究人员，他们研究了来自真核生物，真核生物和细菌的各种微生物，这些微生物通过一碳化合物的代谢而统一，因此经常使用共同的基因和酶。这些生物代谢的C-1化合物具有全球环境影响，许多具有工业价值。研究的途径对进化、结构生物学、酶机制、基因调控、生态学和应用生物学的研究都有意义。随着生物化学，分子生物学，遗传学和基因组技术的最新进展，用于检查C-1利用微生物，大大增强了最近的基本发现，该领域是强大的，这种活力反映在代表不同学科的发言者的多样性选择感兴趣的微生物C-1代谢。 前一年的会议取得了巨大的成功，并为已建立的科学家和那些仍在培训的人提供了动力和灵感。会议对微生物C-1代谢的专门性质为与会者提供了一个与来自地球仪的具有相似兴趣的人会面和互动的机会。GRC的主持提供了一个良好的环境，促进了年轻和更成熟的科学家的互动，组织者做出了协调一致的努力，让年轻的科学家与经验丰富的工作者分享主要的演讲平台。正在为会议寻求部分资金，这些资金将用于为那些可能无法参加会议的年轻科学家设立研究金基金。此外，还需要提供支助，以部分支付发言者和讨论带头人的登记费用。
