PSEUDOMONAS-89 ROLE PATHOGGENICITY BIOTRANSFORMATION & B

假单胞菌属包括一组不同的细菌， 参与植物和动物的致病性， 人类在天然和合成废物的生物转化中的作用 包括剧毒危险化合物， 新的工业产品，如表面活性剂，多糖， 各种有机酸、酶、维生素、氨基酸、抗生素 以及其他化合物 因此， 最早提出的两种转基因菌株 释放到环境中，以保护植物免受 与霜冻有关的损害或害虫的袭击是假的 即P.p. lingae和P. fluorescens。 虽然紧张的工作在 假单胞菌生物学的各个方面都在进行， 美国和世界其他地方，最后一个主要的 在美国举行的关于假单胞菌的会议不仅仅是一次 十年前-1976年在奥兰多举行的ASM赞助的研讨会， 佛罗里达。 1989年7月9日至13日在芝加哥举行的会议 因此，早该举办，预计将吸引400多名 来自国际科学界的参与者。

The genus Pseudomonas comprises a diverse group of bacteria that are involved in the pathogenicity of plants and animals including humans, in the biotransformation of natural and synthetic wastes including highly toxic hazardous compounds and in the development of new industrial products such as surfactants, polysaccharides, various organic acids, enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, antibiotics and a host of other compounds. lt is, therefore, no accident that the first two genetically altered strains that have been proposed to be released into the environment for protection of plants from frost-related damage or the attack by insect pests are pseudomonas viz. P. syringae and P. fluorescens. Although intense work in various aspects of Pseudomonas biology has been going on in both the United States and elsewhere in the world, the last major meeting on Pseudomonas held in the United States was more than a decade ago---an ASM sponsored symposium in 1976 in Orlando, Florida. The proposed meeting in Chicago during July 9-13, 1989 is therefore long overdue and is expected to attract more than 400 participants from the international scientific community.
