Research Planning Workshop for Environmental Biotechnology of Hazardous Waste; October 30, - November 1, 1987; Gatlinburg, TN

将召开一次规划讲习班，以确定利用环境生物技术对危险废物和环境污染物进行生物处理所需的基础科学和工程研究。研讨会的参加者将是一个代表微生物生物化学、遗传学、生态学、环境微生物学以及化学和环境生物过程工程的跨学科专家工作组。该工作组将确定推进危险废物和环境污染物生物处理所需的研究任务。这次研讨会的成果将是一项协商一致的研究计划，为将现代生物技术纳入基础环境科学和工程研究提供具体方向。

A planning workshop will be convened to identify basic science and engineering research needed to exploit environmental biotechnology for biological treatment of hazardous wastes and environmental contaminants. The workshop participants will be a cross-disciplinary expert working group representing microbial biochemistry, genetics, ecology, environmental microbiology, and chemical and environmental bioprocess engineering. This working group will define those research imperatives required to advance the biological treatment of hazardous wastes and environmental contaminants. The output of this workshop will be a consensus research plan to provide specific direction for integrating modern biotechnology in basic environmental science and engineering research.
