 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（由应用提供）：假单胞菌是革兰氏阴性细菌的差异属，其以其在动物和植物中引起疾病​​的能力以及其生物降解和生物修复而闻名。假单胞菌还以其代谢活性而闻名，这些活性使它们能够在极端的营养限制下生长，并在商业和环境上重要的产品生产。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，并且在过去的30年中每隔一年一次进行一次。会议在北美，欧洲和亚太地区之间旋转。所有会议都参加了良好的参加和非常成功。该申请要求2015年9月8日至12日在华盛顿特区举行的美国微生物学会赞助的第15届国际假单胞菌会议。 在假单胞菌属中具有共同研究兴趣的世界，主题范围从人类发病机理的分子机制到其在环境中的生态重要性。铜绿假单胞菌是一种重要的机会病原体，由于其对抗生素的耐药性高，因此很难治疗其感染。其他物种（例如荧光菌）通过与植物根际和生物降解中的相互作用在环境中起重要作用。具体目的是：1。将来自不同基础科学和临床领域的研究人员汇集在一起​​，以讨论和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，并促进研究界的多样性。 3。为了创造一个环境，以在假单胞菌研究的各个领域的科学家之间进行联盟互动和讨论。这次会议将吸引各种各样的科学家，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，进化生物学家和生物学家，他们都是该领域的领导者，以及新的研究人员和受训者。这将促进思想的交流，并促进这一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，以鼓励研究常见生物学问题的人之间的辩论和相互作用。预计该会议将刺激和扩大假单胞菌社区，从而导致出色的讨论和富有成效的新合作。
