2005 Applied and Environmental Microbiology Gordon Conference being held July 24-29, 2005 at Connecticut College in New London, CT.

戈登应用与环境微生物学研究会议（GRC）将于2005年7月24日至29日在康涅狄格州新伦敦的康涅狄格学院举行。该计划涵盖了广泛的主题，旨在调查几个科学领域，这些领域正处于知识变革和令人兴奋的新发现之中。该计划将两个传统上分开的小组聚集在一起，那些参与微生物学基础研究的小组，以及那些参与将这些基础工作应用于现实世界的小组。会议的基础研究方面以生态生理学、微生物多样性、共生、代谢网络、水生病毒和宏基因组学等主题的演讲为重点。更多的应用讲座涵盖了诸如可持续生物技术、可再生燃料、生物膜和新种植方法等主题。在许多会议上，基础研究和应用会谈是背靠背的，以刺激这种交流。演讲者被要求只展示最先进的新材料，留出充足的时间进行讨论，并用新的想法挑战听众。就更广泛的影响而言，GRC形式的研究人员聚集将相互介绍两个学者社区，并将学生和博士后的混合添加到列表中。学生和博士后的参与是专门针对这一目标的。

A Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Applied and Environmental Microbiology will be held July 24-29, 2005, at Connecticut College in New London, CT. The program covers a wide range of topics, seeking to investigate several areas of science that are in the midst of intellectual change and exciting new discoveries. The program brings together two traditionally separated groups, those involved with basic research in microbiology, and those involved with applications of this basic work to real-world situations. The basic research aspect of the meeting is high-lighted by presentations on subjects such as ecophysiology, microbial diversity, symbiosis, metabolic networks, aquatic viruses, and metagenomics. The more applied lectures cover subjects such as sustainable biotechnology, renewable fuels, biofilms, and new methods of cultivation. In many sessions basic research and applications talks are back to back to stimulate this exchange. Speakers have been asked to present only state of the art new material, to leave ample time for discussion, and to challenge the audience with new ideas. With regard to the broader impacts, the bringing together of researchers in the GRC format will introduce two communities of scholars to each other, and add a mixture of students and postdocs to the list. The participation of students and postdocs is being specifically targeted with this goal in mind.
