Microbial genomes blueprints for life

Microbes carry enormous genetic wealth and biological aptitude. Humans have already exploited these resources to enhance the quality of our lives in many ways. We have adopted the biochemical competence and versatility of these tiny creatures in medicine, agriculture, ecology, and studies of evoluti...

520 |a Microbes carry enormous genetic wealth and biological aptitude. Humans have already exploited these resources to enhance the quality of our lives in many ways. We have adopted the biochemical competence and versatility of these tiny creatures in medicine, agriculture, ecology, and studies of evolution. A colloquium was convened by the American Academy of Microbiology to consider these issues relating to the blossoming field of microbial genomic science. The colloquium was held in New Orleans, Louisiana, on March 19-21, 1999
