'BioMicroWorld 2013', Madrid, Spain
Microbes (or microorganisms) are too small to be seen by the unaided eye. They include bacteria, fungi, protozoa, microalgae, and viruses. Using these microbes and enabled by genome studies, microbial biotechnology is expected to lead to breakthroughs such as improved vaccines and better disease-diagnostic tools, improved microbial agents for biological control of plant and animal pests, modifications of plant and animal pathogens for reduced virulence or new microbial agents for bioremediation of soil and water contaminated by agricultural runoff.
The conference will see researchers, engineers and scientists active in industrial microbiology, biotechnology, environmental sciences, agriculture, food and medical microbiology, and other related fields, communicating current research priorities and progress in those fields. Together they will also try to identify new research approaches.For further information, please visit:
