xBASE is a database for comparative genome analysis of all bacterial genome sequences, with particular emphasis on organisms of significance to AgriFood. The project was originally conceived in 2002 by Roy Chaudhuri and Mark Pallen at the University of Birmingham, as part of a BBSRC funded Exploiting Genomics (ExGen) consortium. ...

The Digital Learning Center for Microbial Ecology (DLC-ME) is a science education project developed at Michigan State University. The DLC-ME was created by the Comm Tech Lab in collaboration with the Center for Microbial Ecology and the College of Education at Michigan State. The creation of the DLC-ME was partially sponsored by the National Science Foundation. The goal of the DLC-ME is to use computers and network technologies to provide students and teachers interested in microbiology and microbial ecology with resources that may aid their learning and teaching. ...

CCINFO is a world directory of all registered culture collections. The database STRAIN includes list of holdings from registered culture collections. [Information of the supplier]
The Earth Microbiome Project is a proposed massively multidisciplinary effort to analyze microbial communities across the globe. The general premise is to examine microbial communities from their own perspective. Hence we propose to characterize the Earth by environmental parameter space into different biomes and then explore these using samples currently available from researchers across the globe. We will analyze 200,000 samples from these communities using metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and amplicon sequencing to produce a global Gene Atlas describing protein space, environmental metabolic models for each biome, approximately 500,000 reconstructed microbial genomes, a global metabolic model, and a data-analysis portal for visualization of all information. ...

Microorganisms are a key component of the Earth’s biosphere, and microbial communication – whether between microbes, with higher organisms or with the environment – is an important driver of the Earth system. Our annual International Conference on Microbial Communication (MiCom) for students aims to generate new understanding of these interactions and their many consequences from molecular to global scales. MiCom is organized and hosted each year by PhD students from the Jena School for Microbial Communication (JSMC). We cordially invite you to join us for our 3rd year of discussion and interdisciplinary collaboration with a growing international community of young scientists. Both talks and poster presentations are welcome. We hope to see you there! ... [Information of the supplier]
The degradation of xenobiotic and other toxic compounds by microorganisms is central to strategies for the bioremediation of contaminated environments. The Center for Microbial Ecology at Michigan State University and Rutgers University initiated a study to establish the phylogenetic distribution of described, biodegrading microorganisms with the goals of identifying patterns of microbial degradative processes within a phylogenetic context and of gaining insights into the evolution of those processes. This continuing investigation has been hindered by strain data that is difficult to comprehensively compile and often uncomparable between strains and has underscored the potential usefulness of a database that would consolidate strain-level microbial data. To address this need and provide a resource for the scientific community, we have developed the Biodegradative Strain Database (BSD). The BSD is being developed at the Center for Microbial Ecology in collaboration with the University of Minnesota Biocatalysis/Biodegradation Database and the Ribosomal Database Project II . It should consolidate and provide rapid access to comparative data on known biodegradative microorganisms and the hazardous substances they degrade as a readily accessible resource for researchers and field practitioners. One of its other goals is to facilitate comparative analyses and highlight deficiencies in our current knowledge base. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The International Society for Microbial Ecology is the principle non-profit scientific society for the burgeoning field of Microbial Ecology and its related disciplines. ISME fosters the exchange of scientific information by organizing international symposia as well as specific workshops, sponsoring publications, and promoting education/research. ISME provides services to the scientific as well as the wider community. The ISME symposia, organized every two years, are the largest international meetings addressing the wide range of topics in Microbial Ecology. The next meeting, ISME15, will be held in Seoul, South Korea 2014. The ISME Journal (owned by ISME and published by Nature Publishing Group) currently holds impact factor 7 and addresses interdisciplinary microbila ecology. The society enjoys close collaborations with other key scientific organizations, and has established effective scientific interactions in all geographical regions through a network of scientific leaders who serve as ISME National Ambassadors. ...
