California Room (Town and Country)
Session 14: International Eukaryotic Industrial Microbiology Symposium: The Impact of Eukaryotic Microbial Genomics
The dawning of the genomics age has broadened the realm of possibilities in basic and applied research on eukaryotic microbes. Dozens of fungal and algal genome projects are now complete or in progress. This increasing wealth of genomic information is occurring concurrently with a resurgence of interest in fungi and algae for production of fuels, chemicals and enzymes. This session will provide a sampling of some of the genomics enabled research occurring in eukaryotic algae and fungi.
Convener:	Jon K. Magnuson
8:30 AM			Micro-algae as a platform for the production of therapeutic proteins and biofuels Steve Mayfield
9:00 AM			Dissecting the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor pathway in a unicellular green alga Jim Umen
9:30 AM	S56		Comparative Analysis of Three Trichoderma Genomes Diego A. Martinez, Mary Anne Nelson
