12th Symposium on Bacterial Genetics and Ecology (BAGECO 12), Ljubljana, Slovenia
Recent years have brought striking discoveries in the field of bacterial genetics and ecology that sprung from rapid advances in sequencing technologies and 'omics' approaches, bioinformatics, microscopy and various analytical techniques. These advances have allowed for the gathering of vast amounts of data which highlight the remarkable diversity of microbial communities.
These rapid developments will be addressed during this symposium, which will see renowned scientists giving presentations on recent advances in prokaryotic evolution and horizontal gene transfer; socio-microbiology and microbial community networking; microbial interactions with eukaryotic hosts; drivers of microbial community diversity and ecological outcomes; beneficial microbes; and microbial responses to anthropogenic impacts and biotechnological advances that may alleviate them.For further information, please visit:
