2017 Applied & Environmental Microbiology GRC
Abstract
The GRC-AEM is one of the longest running of the Gordon Conferences. It~s success andresilience is because of the profound influenc"e that microbes have on life on planet Earth,sustaining our environment, influencing our health and driving many industrialbiotech""nology processes eg terrestrial, marine and freshwater biogeochemical cycles,influence of microbes on climate change through consum""ption and production ofgreenhouse gases, bioremediation, biofuels and biocatalysts, the importance of microbesin human health, int""eractions of microbes with animals and plants. The 2017 GRC-AEMHuman and Microbial Perspectives of Microbial Economics, highlights" diversestrategies adopted by microbes for coping with energy and resource excesses andlimitations within a broad spectrum of natu"ral, industrial, and clinical environments. Somesessions will embrace ""Microbial Economics"" as it pertains to the cost/benefit of m""icrobesto humans, while others will consider ""Economics"" from the microbe s perspective andexplore the diversity of lifestyles and" metabolic strategies for coping with resourceavailability and limitation. The Conference has a great track record in stimulating c"uttingedge and innovative research by scientists in academia, research institutes/foundations andgovernment and industrial laborat"ories. The nine session topics reflect exciting newdevelopments the field and will ensure that talks and poster presentations and discussed atthe GRC-AEM will be innovative and world leading. The Gordon Research Seminar(GRS-AEM) associated with the GRC-AEM enti"tled the ""Sharing Economy"" of Microbesand Microbial Communities: Adaptations and Applications will be exclusively for PhDstudents"" and postdocs. To ensure that high numbers of young scientists attend both theGRS and the GRC, we seek support from ONR to assist w"ith their Registration costs.Recipients of ONR support will be selected taking into consideration diversity and theutilization of these funds to enhance participation from under-represented groups (anduniversities). Relevance to ONR Division 342: AEM includes" topics relevant to MarineBiofouling, Marine Microbiology, Microbial Fuel Cells, Metabolic Engineering, GutMicrobiology, Synthetic" Biology.
