2007 Applied and Environmental Microbiology Gordon Research Conference to be held in Mt. Holyoke College, S.Hadley, MA on July 15-20, 2007.

戈登应用和环境微生物学研究会议（GRC）将于7月15日至20日在山举行。霍利奥克学院，S。马萨诸塞州哈德利该计划涵盖了广泛的主题，旨在调查处于知识变革和令人兴奋的新发现之中的几个科学领域。会议汇集了两个传统上分离的群体：基础和应用研究微生物学家。会议的基础研究方面突出了对主题的介绍，如环境中的电子转移机制，测序和基因组学的新方法，群落结构，微生物多样性，自然群落的蛋白质组学，氢介导的生态生理学，以及可视化微生物细胞和亚细胞组分的新方法。 应用讲座强调的主题，如微生物燃料电池，新型生物传感器，和工业利益的微生物培养的新方法。在许多会议上，基础研究和应用会谈是背靠背的，以促进交流。发言者被要求只介绍最先进的新材料，留出足够的时间进行讨论，并用新的想法挑战听众。 演讲者和与会者将包括美国和外国科学家。NSF的资金将特别用于支持年轻的研究人员，学生，博士后，以及来自科学界代表性不足的团体的演讲者和与会者。

A Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Applied and Environmental Microbiology will be held held July 15-20 at Mt. Holyoke College, S. Hadley, MA. The program covers a wide range of topics, seeking to investigate several areas of science that are in the midst of intellectual change and exciting new discoveries. The conference brings together two traditionally separated groups: basic and applied research microbiologists. The basic research aspect of the meeting is high-lighted by presentations on subjects such as mechanisms of electron transfer in the environment, new approaches to sequencing and genomics, community structure, microbial diversity, proteomics of natural communities, hydrogen-mediated ecophysiology, and new methods for visualizing cells and sub-cellular components of microbes. Applied lectures emphasize subjects such as microbial fuel cells, new types of biosensors, and new methods of cultivation of microbes of industrial interest. In many sessions basic research and applications talks are back to back to stimulate exchange. Speakers have been asked to present only state of the art new material, to leave ample time for discussion, and to challenge the audience with new ideas. Speakers and attendees will include both USA and foreign scientists. NSF funds will be used in particular to support young investigators, students, postdocs, and speakers and conferees from underrepresented groups in science.
