For the past year I have been maintaining and circulating through this
newsgroup a "Directory of People Interested in Halophiles and Halophilic
Environments".
I am now pleased to announce an experimental World Wide Web (WWW) site
focusing on
Halophilic Microorganisms and their Environments located at:
<URL:http://pasteur.bio.geneseo.edu>
This is a site is designed to provide assistance to microbiologists who
work on microorganisms that both tolerate and/or require elevated levels
of salt for growth. It is the home for an electronic copy of the
"Directory of People Interested in Halophiles and Halophilic
Environments" and contains a form than can be used to submit information
to be added to the Directory. It also contains the beginnings of helpful
information on halophiles (e.g. media listings) and an electronic forum
in which to discuss matters halophilic. The site is intended as a
resource for microbiologists, and it is hoped that it will grow and
prosper with the active help members of that community.
For those without WWW access, I will continue to periodically post copies
of the updated Directory.
