A NATO Advanced Study Institute on the Molecular Ecology of Aquatic Microbes
will be held 28 August - 9 September in Il Ciocco, Italy. Principal Lectures
include: Farooq Azam, Henry Blackburn, Gunnar Bratbak, Noel Carr, Paul Falkowski,
Steve Giovannoni, Ricardo Guerrero, Jean Hommard, Ian Joint, Aaron Kaplan,
Paul Kemp, Luigi Lazzara, Wolfgang Woffelhardt, Nick Mann, Linda Medlin, Colin
Murrell, Colin Renyolds, Bo Reimann, Mel Simon, Daniel Vaulot, Bess Ward and
Jon Zehr. The objectives of the ASI is to evaluate the potential for molecular
biology to solve important questions in awautic microbiology, particularly those
relating to biogeochemical cycling and microbial physiology. The ASI is open
to anyone with experience in molecular ecology and to those who wish to apply
molecular biology techniques to aquatic eoclogy research. Those interested in
attending should contact Dr. Ian Joint, ASI Director, Plymouth Marine Laboratory,
Prospect Place, The Hoe, Plymouth, PL1 3DH, United Kingdom. Fax 44 -752-670637.
