Description (provided by applicant) The Applied and Environmental Microbiology Gordon Research Conference is one of the longest running Gordon Conferences and has been held every two years since 1950. This conference has been a forum for the consideration of critical or even controversial issues. For example, the supposition that pathogenicity determinants derive from environmental pools of microbial genes is receiving greater support as data accumulate. The possibility that constant interaction of bacteria and eukaryotic fungi in the environment has selected for general pathogenicity factors in the bacteria is intriguing. Thus understanding the generation of microbial biodiversity through stress and gene acquisition will contribute to our concepts of pathogen development. In the past five years, the availability of the complete genome sequences of literally hundreds of microbes has brought about a revolution in applied and environmental microbiology. The fast pace of data acquisition underscores the critical role of conferences such as this one as a forum for information exchange. The long-term success of this conference is based on the fundamental importance of microorganisms to the environment and to human health both directly and indirectly. Global change, production of greenhouse gases, the cycling of naturally occurring and anthropogenic substances, remediation of materials with genotoxic potential, and manufacture of chemicals are just a few of the areas covered by the conference that have profound impact on society.

说明（申请人提供） 应用和环境微生物学戈登研究会议是运行时间最长的戈登会议之一，自1950年以来每两年举行一次。 这次会议是审议重要甚至有争议问题的论坛。 例如，随着数据的积累，致病性决定因素来自环境微生物基因库的假设得到了更多的支持。 环境中细菌和真核真菌的持续相互作用选择了细菌中的一般致病因子的可能性是有趣的。 因此，了解通过压力和基因获取产生的微生物生物多样性将有助于我们的病原体发展的概念。 在过去的五年里，数百种微生物的完整基因组序列的可用性带来了应用和环境微生物学的革命。 数据采集的快速步伐突出了像这样的会议作为信息交流论坛的关键作用。 本次会议的长期成功是基于微生物对环境和人类健康的直接和间接的根本重要性。 全球变化，温室气体的产生，自然发生和人为物质的循环，具有遗传毒性潜力的材料的补救以及化学品的制造只是会议所涵盖的对社会产生深远影响的几个领域。
