The normal course of most biologically catalyzed processes is
tightly regulated at the genetic and physiological levels. The
regulatory mechanisms are diverse, sometimes redundant, and it is
becoming increasingly apparent that, at the genetic level, the
range of mechanisms may be limited only by the permutations and
combina tions available. For each microbial cell, evolution appears
to have resulted in maximized advantage to that cell, achieving
regulatory balance. Genetic engineering encompasses our attempts to
perturb the genetic regulation of a cell so that we may obtain
desired other than normal outcomes, such as increased product
formation, or new product formation. Following the groundwork
established by a preceding symposium (Trends in the Biology of
Fermentations for Fuels and Chemicals, Brookhaven National
Laboratory, December 1980), the initial planning for this
conference envisioned the juxtaposition of molecular genetic
expertise and microbial biochemical expertise. The resultant
interaction should encourage new and extended ideas for the improve
ment of strains and for the generation of new regulatory combina
tions to enhance microbial chemical production from cheap and
abundant (including waste) substrates. The interaction should also
demonstrate that new discoveries at the basic level remain
essential to progress in genetic engineering. New genetic
regulatory combina tions require new studies of physiology and
biochemistry to assure understanding and control of the system. New
biochemical reactions necessitate new studies of genetic and
regulatory interaction."
