摘要

Of the thousands of microbes known to science, 99% have yet to be cultured in a dish. But unless they can be grown in the laboratory, there is little hope that their physiology or behaviour will ever be well understood. Solving this culture problem was just one of the challenges outlined to microbiologists who attended a special, 24 May symposium on the future of their discipline at the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in New Orleans. With the rise of molecular biology over the past half-century― and that of biotechnology in its wake ― researchers who study the life cycles and habitats of microbes have acquired something of a stuffy image. As research funding shifted to the fashionable areas of molecular and cell biology, microbiology faculty positions were lost, and in some cases whole departments were closed.
