The teachings of "The Delft School' have had a lasting influence on the study of microbial biochemisu% biodiversity and biotechnology.Beijerinck and his successors each addressed basic questions in microbial physiology: How does the intact organism interact with its abiotic and biotic environment?How can fundamental principles be brought to bear on applied problems?What is the place of microorganisms in the natural world?The Beijerinck Centennial will bring together an international group of scientists in a symposium that addresses cutting-edge principles of microbial physiology and gene regulation as observed in important model and production organisms.It will highlight the microbial diversity that provides the raw materials for this research, and will honour the grand tradition of the Delft School that teaches that microbes can be the basis of whole new ways of thinking within biology, and whole new commercial processes within industry.
