Right important topics for future research. It is a pleasure now in 1999 we might actually be in mid-log phase, to work in such a dynamic field of microbiology. The judging from the excellent and exciting contributions excitement that this research brings to the scientists presented in this book, by the lecturers of the 6th LAB involved will be transparent for those who read the symposium, from the progress reports described in the different chapters of this book. poster abstracts and from the large number of parti- cipants. Many important aspects of LABs have been W.N. Konings analyzed especially from a number of Lactococcus University of Groningen, the Netherlands and Lactobacillus strains. It will take several more years to study other LABs in similar detail. J.R.J. Ruis in 't Veld In this book the first complete genome of a Lactic Utrecht University, the Netherlands Acid Bacterium is presented. The sequencing of the genomes of several other LABs has started already or O.P. Kuipers will begin soon. These genome sequences will open University of Groningen, the Netherlands and stimulate new research area on LAB. Functional GENETICS METABOLISM APPLICATIONS SHORT LECTURES
