'Molecular bioenergetics of cyanobacteria: from cell to community', Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain
10 April 2011 - 10 April 2011
Spain
A workshop on 'Molecular bioenergetics of cyanobacteria: from cell to community' will take place from 10 to 15 April 2011 in Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain.
Prokaryotes are a group of organisms that lack a cell nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles. They are divided into two domains: bacteria and archaea. Among all groups of prokaryotes, few have played a bigger role than cyanobacteria on the global scale. The appearance of cyanobacteria, about three billion years ago, brought a radical transition of the Earth's environment as the oxygen they produced from their photosynthetic activity turned the anoxic world into an oxic one. Their tremendous diversity in terms of activity and structure make them interesting models for studies covering diverse disciplines such as evolution, biology, environmental science and geology.
The event will focus on the techniques and approaches used by cyanobacteriologists to address different scientific problems which cross over into multiple areas such as biology, chemistry, physics and informatics.For further information, please click: here(opens in new window)
