The objective of the annual meetings of the West Coast Bacterial Physiologists (WCBP) is to foster communication among established investigators, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students working in the broad area of microbial physiology. Started in the 1940.s by C. B. van Niel for his associates on the West Coast, participants now come from Canada, the Midwest and the East Coast of the USA. This is one of the few conferences in North America that have retained a focus on microbial physiology, with a primary, but not exclusive, emphasis on the physiology of prokaryotic microorganisms. The conference especially provides a forum for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to present and discuss the results of their research projects utilizing experimental systems ranging from model organisms to those of specific relevance to pathogenic and environmental microbiology. The conference has been held continuously since 1963 over a weekend in the middle of December at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California. The annual meeting is announced in August and September by direct mailings and by posting on the WCBP web site (http://wcbacterialphysiologists.ucdavis.edu). The meeting is organized with four formal sessions (Friday evening, Saturday morning and evening, and Sunday morning) and four unstructured informal sessions (Friday afternoon and late evening, and Saturday afternoon and late evening). Each of the four formal sessions is initiated with a 45 min overview lecture. The overview lectures are endowed by the Genentech Corporation and identified as the John Ingraham Lectures in Microbial Physiology. The John Ingraham Lecturers may be principle investigators, postdoctoral fellows or graduate students. They are selected by the conference co-directors on the basis of scientific merit and current high profile research topic of relevance to microbial physiologists. The overview lectures are followed by offered papers of 15 or 20 min duration. Typically, 7-9 and 5-7 offered papers are scheduled for the morning and evening sessions, respectively, depending on the number of abstracts submitted. No graduate student submitting an abstract has been denied a chance to present her/his data and conclusions. A registration fee covers lodging, food, meeting room expenses and support for the informal sessions. A differential between the registration fees for graduate students and all other participants has traditionally been preserved. NSF funding will be applied to maintain at least a 20% lower registration fee for graduate students and go toward support of poster sessions, if the participants desire such sessions.

西海岸细菌生理学家（WCBP）年会的目的是促进在微生物生理学广泛领域工作的研究人员，博士后研究员和研究生之间的沟通。 由C. B。货车尼尔为他在西海岸的同事，参与者现在来自加拿大，中西部和美国东海岸。这是北美为数不多的保留了对微生物生理学的关注的会议之一，主要但不排他地强调原核微生物的生理学。会议特别为研究生和博士后研究员提供了一个论坛，介绍和讨论他们的研究项目的结果，利用实验系统，从模式生物到与病原体和环境微生物学具体相关的系统。自1963年以来，该会议一直在12月中旬的一个周末在加州太平洋格罗夫的阿西洛马会议中心举行。 年会将于8月和9月通过直接邮寄和在WCBP网站（http：//www.example.com）上公布。wcbacterialphysiologists.ucdavis.edu会议安排了四次正式会议（星期五晚上、星期六上午和晚上以及星期日上午）和四次非正式会议（星期五下午和晚上，星期六下午和晚上）。 四个正式会议中的每一个都以45分钟的概述讲座开始。概述讲座由基因泰克公司捐赠，并确定为微生物生理学约翰英格拉哈姆讲座。约翰英格拉哈姆讲师可能是主要调查员，博士后研究员或研究生。他们是由会议联合主任根据科学价值和与微生物生理学家相关的当前备受瞩目的研究主题选择的。概述讲座之后是15或20分钟的论文。通常情况下，7-9和5-7提供的论文分别安排在上午和晚上的会议，这取决于提交的摘要数量。 没有一个提交摘要的研究生被剥夺了展示她/他的数据和结论的机会。 登记费包括住宿、食物、会议室费用和对非正式会议的支助。研究生注册费与所有其他参与者注册费之间的差别历来得到保留。NSF的资金将用于维持研究生至少20%的低注册费，并支持海报会议，如果参与者希望这样的会议。
