The parallel sessions are related to three main thematic axes:
- Environmental microbial ecology
– Soils and rhizobiome
– Epicontinental aquatic microbiology
– Oceanic environments
– Extremophiles
– Microbial ecology of Antarctica
– Virus ecology
– Models in astrobiology and early evolution (mats, microbialites, biofilms, vents)
– Bioinformatics methods - Microbiome ecology
– Microbiome and one health
– Medical microbiome
– Host-microbiome interactions / symbiosis
– What will be the next pandemic? Ecology of emerging pathogens
– Chemical ecology - Microbes and biotechnology
– New techniques for the study of microbial ecology
– Biotechnology of natural products and drug discovery
– Heterologously expressed hosts (cell factories)
– Environmental biotechnology (agricultural, biological control and bioremediation)
– Food biotechnology (including fermentations)
We are currently working on the final program. Please visit the program page for updates prior to the congress.
