The Tenth International Symposium on Phototrophic Prokaryotes (Barcelona, 26–31 August 2000) was the latest in a series of conferences initiated by Roger Stanier in 1971 to create ties within the community of scientists working with cyanobacteria or green and purple bacteria. Consonant with Stanier's own work, the subjects of these conferences range broadly from systematics and ecology through genetics, biochemistry and physiology. The effort to define comprehensively the place of bacteria in the living world was the leitmotif in Stanier's work, the subject of one of his earliest papers (in 1941), and revisited for the final time in his autobiographical memoir of 1980. Salvador Luria noted that Stanier "...always pursued broad naturalistic interests along with chemical ones, deliberately emphasizing morphology and ecology side by side with biochemistry." Chronologically, Stanier's work addressed taxonomic and nutritional aspects of the cytophagas, enzyme induction and patterns of regulation of enzyme synthesis, aromatic degradative pathways, characterization of what would subsequently be called 70S bacterial ribosomes, the regulation of bacteriochlorophyll synthesis by nonsulfur purple bacteria, protection by carotenoids against photooxidative damage, the path of carbon in heterotrophy, the molecular basis of streptomycin dependence, the life cycle of Caulobacter, the taxonomy of pseudomonads, and, for the last 12 years of his life, wide-ranging studies of the cyanobacteria.

罗杰·雅特·斯坦尼尔（Roger Yate Stanier），1916-1982年：一次超然的旅程。

第十届国际光养原核生物研讨会（2000年8月26日至31日，巴塞罗那）是1971年由罗杰·斯坦尼尔（Roger Stanier）发起的一系列会议中的最新一次，目的是在研究蓝细菌或绿色和紫色细菌的科学家群体中建立联系。与斯坦尼尔自己的工作一致，这些会议的主题范围广泛，从系统学和生态学到遗传学，生物化学和生理学。全面确定细菌在生活世界中的位置的努力是斯坦尼尔作品中的主题，这是他最早的论文之一（于1941年），并在他1980年的自传回忆录中进行了最后一次修订。萨尔瓦多·卢里亚（Salvador Luria）指出：斯坦尼尔（Stanier）：...总是追求广泛的自然主义兴趣以及化学兴趣，假单胞菌的分类学是杆状杆菌，在他生命的最后十二年中，对蓝细菌进行了广泛的研究。
