GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE ON BACTERIAL CELL SURFACES

拟议中的戈登会议是一系列处理 细菌细胞表面结构，例如，细胞质膜， 肽聚糖壁、外膜、鞭毛、囊、皮利等。这 研究领域是基于多学科的方法。 因此，我们需要 工蜂与形态学、生理学、 免疫学、生物化学、物理化学和遗传学专业知识;以及 戈登会议是一个理想的设置，汇集这些科学家 不同的学科。 细胞表面成分的结构和功能是细胞生物学的基础 在微生物学和细胞生物学中的重要性。 最近的研究 表明化学上可识别的细胞表面成分 在宿主动物和植物感染过程中的重要作用， 共生菌和致病菌。 本次会议涉及的主题 与这些微生物学领域有着密切的联系。 应该强调的是， 这一领域的研究已经由外国科学家（欧洲科学家， 日本人）。 因此，它对成功的关键是 会议邀请的外国与会者比例很高。 因此，正在请求补充旅费和生活津贴， 为那些无法获得必要资金的参与者提供资金 从其他来源

The proposed Gordon Conference is the seventh in a series dealing with the bacterial cell surface structures, e.g., cytoplasmic membranes, peptidoglycan walls, outer membranes, flagella, capsules, pili, etc. This area of research is based on multidisciplinary approaches. Thus, we need the interaction of workers with morphological, physiological, immunological, biochemical, physicochemical, and genetic expertise; and the Gordon Conference is an ideal setting to bring together scientists of these diverse disciplines. The structure and functions of cell surface components are of fundamental importance in microbiology and cell biology in general. Recent studies indicate that chemically identifiable cell surface components play essential roles in the process of infection of host animals and plants by symbiotic and pathogenic bacteria. The topics covered by this conference are very much relevant to these areas of microbiology. It should be emphasized that a large fraction or major contributions to this field of research have been made by foreign scientists (European as well as Japanese). Therefore, it is crucial for the success of the conference to have a high proportion of invited foreign participants. Thus, a request is being made to supplement the travel and subsistence funds for those participants who will not be able to obtain necessary funds from other sources.
