Part of the book series: Basic Life Sciences ((BLSC))

Abstract

The title of this conference in itself suggests the merging of several traditional disciplines of study (chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, and genetics) with recent and dramatic developments in molecular genetics. The revolutionary breakthroughs of recombinant DNA research are providing unique opportunities for the genetic manipulation of microorganisms. One of the major objectives of this conference is to assemble scientists of diverse expertise to focus collectively on the problem of constructing microorganisms with new or greatly enhanced capacities to produce chemical substances of agricultural, industrial, and medical importance. For this purpose, it is necessary to consider the most effective means of merging our understanding of the physiological, biochemical, and ecological properties of microorganisms with the powerful technological developments that have occurred in molecular genetics. This paper will deal with plasmids, a key molecular ingredient for the genetic manipulation of microorganisms using recombinant DNA techniques.
