Japan-UK Joint Study on Molecular Genetics of Streptomyces

本研究的目的是促进日本和英国在链霉菌分子遗传学方面的联合研究。1997年10月在英国诺里奇的约翰英纳斯研究中心举行了一次链霉菌分子遗传学研讨会。15名日本研究人员参加了研讨会，并讨论了联合研究问题。第二年（1998年），约翰·英尼斯研究中心的三位教授（Sir。D.霍普伍德、K.F.查特和M.J.比布）访问日本，并与日本研究人员讨论了联合研究。这项研究的首席研究员堀之内（S.Horinouchi）于9月访问了John Innes研究中心。本研究的研究者之一大西洋一在约翰英纳斯研究中心呆了三个星期。他与该中心的一些研究人员进行了实验，由于这项研究，许多联合研究开始，日本和英国的研究人员之间建立了更密切的关系。

The purpose of this study is promoting Japan-UK joint researches on molecular genetics of Streptomyces. A workshop on molecular genetics of Streptomyces was held at John Innes research center (Norwich, UK) on October 1997. Fifteen Japanese researchers took part in the workshop and discussed about joint researches. The proceeding of the workshop was distributed to many researchers who study on Streptomyces.In the second year, 1998, three professors of John Innes research center (Sir. D.Hopwood, K.F.Chater and M.J.Bibb) visited Japan and discussed about joint researches with Japanese researchers. S.Horinouchi, head investigator of this study, visited John Innes research center on September. Y.Ohnishi, one of inverstigators of this study, stayed for three weeks at John Innes research center. He made experiments with some researchers of the center.Thanks to this study, many joint researches started and more intimate relationship was established between Japanese and English researchers.
