 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Pseudomonas is a diverse genus of Gram-negative bacteria that is well known for its ability to cause disease in animals and plants, and for its rol in biodegradation and bioremediation. Pseudomonads are also known for their metabolic activities that allow them to grow under extreme nutrient limitation, as well as produce commercially and environmentally important products. There is a large international scientific community that studies Pseudomonas. The International Pseudomonas Conference serves as a focal point for exchange of ideas by this group, and it has taken place every other year for approximately the past 30 years. The meeting rotates between North America, Europe and the Asia- Pacific. All of the meetings have been well attended and highly successful. This application requests financial support for the American Society for Microbiology-sponsored 15th International Conference on Pseudomonas, to be held from September 8-12, 2015 in Washington, D.C. It will bring together a multi-disciplinary group of investigators from around the world who share a common research interest in the genus Pseudomonas, with topics ranging from the molecular mechanisms of human pathogenesis to its ecological importance in the environment. P. aeruginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen, and its infections are difficult to treat due to its high resistance to antibiotics. Other species such as P. fluorescens play important roles in the environment through interaction with the plant rhizosphere and in biodegradation. The specific aims are: 1. To bring together investigators from diverse basic science and clinical fields to discuss and advance our understanding of the multi- factorial impact of Pseudomonas on the human host and the environment. 2. To train and mentor young investigators in the fields of Pseudomonas research and promote diversity within the research community. 3. To create an environment for collegial interactions and discussions between scientists in varying areas of Pseudomonas research. This conference will attract a diversity of scientists, including microbiologists, structural biologists, systems and synthetic biologists, chemists, biochemists, evolutionary biologists and ecologists, who are leaders in the field as well as new investigators and trainees. This will facilitate the exchange of ideas, and foster interactions among this diverse group of scientists. The conference will emphasize the use of molecular, quantitative and theoretical approaches to the study of Pseudomonas with the aim of encouraging debate and interactions among those studying common biological problems. It is anticipated that this conference will stimulate and expand the Pseudomonas community, leading to outstanding discourse and productive new collaborations.

 描述（由申请人提供）：假单胞菌属是一种多样的革兰氏阴性菌属，因其在动物和植物中引起疾病的能力以及其在生物降解和生物修复中的作用而众所周知。假单胞菌还以其代谢活动而闻名，这些活动使它们能够在极端营养限制下生长，并产生商业和环境重要的产品。有一个大型的国际科学界研究假单胞菌。国际假单胞菌会议是该小组交流思想的焦点，在过去的30年里，它每隔一年举行一次。会议轮流在北美、欧洲和亚太地区举行.所有这些会议都得到了踊跃参加，并取得了很大成功。本申请请求对美国微生物学会主办的第15届假单胞菌国际会议的财政支持，该会议将于2015年9月8日至12日在华盛顿，华盛顿特区举行。 在假单胞菌属的共同研究兴趣，从人类发病的分子机制，其在环境中的生态重要性的主题。铜绿假单胞菌是一种重要的条件致病菌，由于其对抗生素的高耐药性，其感染难以治疗。其他物种如荧光假单胞菌通过与植物根际相互作用和生物降解在环境中发挥重要作用。具体目标是：1.汇集来自不同基础科学和临床领域的研究人员，讨论并促进我们对假单胞菌对人类宿主和环境的多因素影响的理解。2.培训和指导假单胞菌研究领域的年轻研究人员，并促进研究社区的多样性。3.为假单胞菌研究不同领域的科学家之间的合议互动和讨论创造一个环境。本次会议将吸引各种科学家，包括微生物学家，结构生物学家，系统和合成生物学家，化学家，生物化学家，进化生物学家和生态学家，他们是该领域的领导者以及新的研究人员和学员。这将促进思想交流，促进这一不同科学家群体之间的互动。会议将强调使用分子，定量和理论方法来研究假单胞菌，目的是鼓励那些研究共同生物学问题的人之间的辩论和互动。预计这次会议将刺激和扩大假单胞菌社区，导致杰出的话语和富有成效的新合作。
