Extractions: NYCASM Branch History The New York City Branch was formed in 1917 and officially became a Branch on March 10, 1934, of the Society of American Bacteriologists. (SAB). In 1961 the SAB became the American Society for Microbiology (ASM). The Branch holds a minimum of two scientific meetings annually, the Annual Meeting in the Spring and the second in the Fall. The site of the Fall meeting alternates between Westchester County and Long Island. At times meetings are held in conjunction with The New York City Society of Infectious Diseases. The Annual Meeting was initially held at Wagner College on Staten Island with scientific posters and several clinical topics. There were 15 exhibitors and 29 sustaining members. In 1988 the New York Penta Hotel was the site of the meeting. The meeting was extended to two days in 1991. Attendance at this site grew by 36% and exhibitor participation by 100%. In recent years the Annual Meeting has again become a one-day event because of limited funding.

Extractions: A Brief History of the Department of Molecular Biology and Microbiology and the Graduate Program in Molecular Microbiology Edward Goldberg was induced to leave Alfred Hershey's lab at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory to set up a lab at Tufts studying phage genetics, transcription and morphogenesis. Michael Malamy Andrew Wright moved across the river from his postdoctoral position at MIT (with Phillips Robbins) to start a new lab studying the interactions of Salmonella phages with their host cells. In 1968, the name of the department was changed to Molecular Biology and Microbiology to distinguish our emphasis on molecular genetic approaches to microbial physiology from more traditional ways of thinking about the subject. At that time, molecular biology was still a new science that pertained almost exclusively to bacteria and viruses. Park resigned as Chair in 1970, turning over the governance of the department to Elio Schaechter. Two appointments in the next five years increased the faculty to a small, highly cohesive group of seven who interacted well with each other. We have managed to maintain this spirit even as the department has doubled in size. We have done so despite our stylistic differences by seeking consensus and working together for the common good. The first new appointment was Abraham L. (Linc) Sonenshein

Extractions: Home The Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics of the Harvard Medical School has a long and distinguished history of making significant contributions to an understanding of the fundamental causes, means of prevention, and treatment of disease by studying the molecular bases of pathogenic viral and bacterial infections; and by expanding the basic understanding of bacterial viruses, fungi and animal cells. The Department follows in the rich tradition of such eminent alumni and members of the faculty as Hans Zinsser, John Enders, Bernard Davis, and Bernard Fields. Zinsser's groundbreaking work on rickettsial diseases led to an understanding of recurrent typhus, named Brill-Zinsser disease in his honor. Enders, a student of Zinsser, received his doctorate in Microbiology from Harvard Medical School in 1930 and served on the faculty for 37 years. His research first led to the refinement of tissue culture techniques for the study of viruses in vitro, and then, to the cultivation of polio, measles, and mumps viruses in non-nervous tissues. Enders' seminal work paved the way for the development of the polio, measles and mumps vaccines and earned him the Nobel Prize. Bernard Davis expanded our understanding of the role of antibiotics and their ability to kill bacteria. His work and the work of Luigi Gorini on streptomycin helped elucidate how this drug worked as a treatment of tuberculosis. Bernard Fields' work expanded our knowledge of the structure and genetics of animal viruses in relation to their dissemination and replication in the human host.

Extractions: [Click photo for larger image] Z. John Ordal was among the first faculty hired by Louis Howard to staff the new Department of Food Technology. He received his early education at Luther College, Iowa, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1942 in Bacteriology and Chemical Engineering. Following post-doctoral work at Ohio State University, he spent two years as an associate at the University of Illinois in the Departments of Bacteriology and Public Health. In 1946 he moved to Owens-Illinois Glass Company and in 1947 to Economics Laboratory in Minneapolis. In 1949, he came back to Urbana as associate professor of food microbiology and became a full professor in 1957. Ordal's research contributions gained him an international reputation, especially on the physiology of the bacterial spore, and the effect of physical stress on microbial cells and the conditions needed for repair or recovery. His early work on vacuum packaging of fresh meats has found wide application in the wholesale distribution of fresh meats, particularly primal cuts of fresh beef. His output of graduate students has been prodigious: 31 Ph.D. and 45 MS candidates between 1950 and 1979. He received the 1979 Becton Dickinson award from the American Society for Microbiology. He died in Urbana in 1979.

http://www.cook.rutgers.edu/~dbm/history.html

Extractions: In 1863, Rutgers was designated the "State College for the Benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts" following the passage of the Morrill Land - Grant Act (1862) and soon after the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) was formed in 1880. At Rutgers College in 1893, Julius Nelson clarified the nature of bovine tuberculosis, setting a trend in agricultural microbiology. Edward Voorhees and J. B. Street illuminated the role of soil bacteria in denitrification in 1902, receiving the first Nichols Gold Medal of the American Chemical Society. The introduction of soybeans as an agricultural crop in the United States, pioneered in part by the founder of NJAES, George Cook in 1879, enabled Byron Halsted to use the legumes in evaluating the efficiency of Rhizobium legume inoculants (1899). Based on Halsted's early studies, and his own concern with the role of bacteria in soil fertility, Voorhees established the Department of Soil Chemistry and Bacteriology in 1901 probably the first department of agricultural microbiology in the country and the progenitor of the current Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology. Jacob Lipman was appointed to develop the new Department in 1901 although still completing his Ph.D. in Agricultural Chemistry (Cornell, 1903). This remarkable Russian immigrant, who received his B.S. from Rutgers in 1898, gave tremendous vitality to the new science of soil bacteriology (Voorhees and Lipman

Extractions: Several environmental factors play a role in determining the health, safety and efficiency of crewmembers. Investigators study environmental characteristics such as microbial conditions of air, water, and surfaces in the space vehicle to assure that conditions are safe for space crews. Microorganisms are a part of life on Earth as well as in space. In general, humans live in harmony with the microbial world. The majority of microorganisms are harmless, and several are actually beneficial to humans. There are a small number of microbes, however, that can cause disease or infection and therefore are referred to as pathogenic . Long stays planned on space stations require protecting crews from these pathogenic microorganisms. The primary source of microorganisms in space vehicles is humans, who carry bacteria on their skin, in their mouths, and in their intestines. Animals and plants brought into space can be another source of microbes. Assessments of the Shuttle and Mir environments and of the crews before, during and after space flight assures crew health during space, and allows the spacecraft to be a suitable living environment.

Extractions: Objectives Microorganisms are ubiquitous in spacecraft environments, as they are on Earth. Microbes pose several risks to humans in space including infectious diseases, allergies, degradation of air quality (e.g. release of volatiles), release of toxins, degradation of critical materials, and systems failure (e.g. water reclamation system). Maintaining the health and performance of humans in closed environments in microgravity while reusing reclaimed water is a daunting task. Determining medical and technological risks which are dependent on microbiological factors during long-term space flight is a vital problem in theory, as well as in practice. In such a closed environment, the humans will be a major source of microbes released into the spacecraft. Some microbial species will thrive and some will disappear, resulting in a unique microbiota in the spacecraft. Animals and plants, when present, will also be significant contributors to the overall bioburden, and suitable containment and purification technologies are essential. The success of long-duration space missions will depend on our ability to mitigate the adverse effects of microorganisms. This will require a much better understanding of the microbiology of closed environments and the human-microbe-environment interactions. The Mir Space Station provides an opportunity for a relatively comprehensive study of the crewmembers and environment on an 11-year-old space station.

Nakata and McIvor retired in 1993. In 1992, Mallavia succeeded Nakata as the department's fifth chairman and served until late 1997, when he was stricken with cancer. Mike Kahn succeeded Mallavia as department chairman and served until July 1, 1999, when the Department of Microbiology merged with Biochemistry, Genetics and Cell Biology to become the School of Molecular Biosciences in the College of Science. During the period 1926 to 1999, more than 1840 B.S. degrees, 190 M.S. degrees, and 125 Ph.D. degrees were awarded by the department. The faculty and Washington State University should be commended for the high quality education and training they have provided graduates over the years. A significant proportion have gone on to graduate and professional schools and found careers in academia, medicine, industry and government positions. Historically, graduates with B.S. degrees have enjoyed the ease with which they been able to qualify for laboratory positions in industry, government facilities, hospitals, research institutions, and in academia. Microbiology should be proud of the job well-done.

Extractions: Meningitis remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity despite the availability of effective antibiotics. The study of Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) has progressed from the beginning of the last century until today. The cause of meningitis remained unknown until the late 19th century. With the rapid progression of laboratory methods and the development of bacteriology from an art into a science, microbiologists made repeated attempts to isolate an organism from patients who died of meningitis. The breakthrough came in 1887 when a coccoid bacterium was isolated from meningeal exudate. The organism was called Diplococcus intracellularis meningitidis which later became known as Neisseria meningitidis Stuart Clarke FIBMS and Puli V
