We are pleased to welcome you to the second conference on the Ecology of Soil Microorganisms to be held in November/December 2015 in Prague. This is the second conference on this topic after the first one organised in 2011 that was attended by more than 400 participants from all over the world. The conference is planned as an interdisciplinary platform that should offer as much interaction among various subjects within microbial ecology as possible. This includes questions addressing individual microbes, microbial communities as well as their interactions with the environment and other soil biota. We hope to link the modern molecular “omics” methods such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics with approaches based on soil chemical and biochemical analyses, the exploration of soil fauna and plant ecology. The other important goal of the conference is a wide scope covering the ecology of all microbes: bacteria and fungi as well as archaea and protozoa.We also cordially invite presenters from the emerging fields of ancient DNA and archaeomicrobiology. Our aim is to bring experts from all these disciplines to a meeting where all can benefit from interactions and to promote in this way the research in the field of soil ecology. The conference is held under the auspices of the President of the Czech Academy of Sciences Prof. Jiri Drahos ... [Information of the supplier]
We are pleased to invite you to the 4th conference on the Ecology of Soil Microorganisms to be held in Prague from 19 to 23 June 2022. This will be the fourth conference of the series of triennial symposia on this topic, last organized in Helsinky in 2018. The conference is planned as an interdisciplinary platform that should offer as much interaction among various subjects within microbial ecology as possible. This includes questions addressing individual microbes, microbial communities as well as their interactions with the environment and other soil biota. We hope to link the modern molecular "omics" methods such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics with approaches based on soil chemical and biochemical analyses, the exploration of soil fauna and plant ecology. ...

Our goal is to contribute to the development of a network of sustainable and ecological agricultural systems, which provide food, renewable resources and energy. The environmentally friendly nature of these systems ensures optimal soil and plant health, and promotes animal welfare, biodiversity, an efficient energy flow and nutrient cycle balance. ...

Ausgangsproblematik: Durch einseitige, oft triviale und wenig wissenschaftlich fundierte Orientierung an Einzelaspekten aus der kindlichen Lebenswelt und methodenzentriertes, weniger inhaltlich legitimiertes Praktizieren reformpädagogischer Konzepte läuft der Sachunterricht als elementarer (lebens-)weltkundlicher Lernbereich in der Grundschule aktuell Gefahr, Grundschüler potentiell zu unterfordern und wenig anschlussfähiges Orientierungswissen zu vermitteln. Um die Lernbereitschaft und Lernfähigkeit von Anfang an zu fördern, muss der Sachunterricht lebensweltliche und wissenschaftsbezogene Fragen stärker vernetzen und nicht nur methodisch, sondern auch inhaltlich anspruchsvoll sein. Zielsetzung: Orientiert an den Richtlinien für den Sachunterricht in NRW soll exemplarisch für das lebensweltlich wie ökologisch relevante Themenfeld „Boden als Lebensgrundlage“ eine internetbasierte Hypermedia-Arbeitsumgebung entwickelt werden, die fachliche Grundlagen, fachdidaktische Anforderungen und lerntheoretische Erkenntnisse inhalts- und prozessbezogen so integriert, dass sie von Lehrern und Schülern gleichermaßen für interaktive Prozesse der Wissensorganisation genutzt werden kann. Ziel ist die Konzeption und Konstruktion eines inhaltlich wie methodisch anspruchsvollen und wissenschaftlich fundierten Instrumentariums, das eine multimedial fundierte Planung und Organisation entsprechender Unterrichtsprozesse ermöglicht. Curricularer Einsatz: in der Lehrerbildung (Universität und Vorbereitungsdienst), zur Unterrichtsvorbereitung für Lehramtsanwärter und Lehrer, im Unterrichtsprozess. Zielgruppe sind nicht nur die (angehenden) Lehrerinnen und Lehrer, die für den Sachunterricht in der Primarstufe verantwortlich sind, sondern auch die Biologielehrerinnen und -lehrer in der Sekundarstufe I. Emissionsmedium: Internet Konzeption: Die Projektkonzeption basiert auf aktuellen bildungspolitischen, lerntheoretischen und fachdidaktischen Grundanforderungen, deren zentralen Aspekte nachfolgend zusammengefasst sind. ...

We are pleased to announce that Rhizosphere 5, the fifth in a series of international conferences devoted to the study of the rhizosphere, will take place in July 2019 and will be hosted by the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada. Rhizosphere 5 builds on past successes of the Rhizosphere conferences held in Munich (2004), Montpellier (2007), Perth (2011), and Maastricht (2015); and is the first in the series to be held in North America. The general theme for the conference is "shining light on the plant-root-soil interface". As with the previous conferences, Rhizosphere 5 will provide a multidisciplinary forum for exchanging innovative ideas and methods for studying the rhizosphere and understanding its complexity and its role in both natural and agricultural ecosystem processes. The conference provides a stage for both young and established scientists to present their work to a welcoming international audience. ... [Information of the supplier]
The MicrobesOnline genome database contains over 300 prokaryotic genomes. All genomes are automatically analyzed through the VIMSS genome pipeline. We use publicly available sequence analysis tools and databases to search for homologs (NCBI BLAST, SwissProt, COG) and protein domains (InterPro), to assign gene ontologies (Gene Ontology Consortium) and EC numbers and to map the metabolic pathways (KEGG). We then link the orthology relationships between genes, predict operon structures and regulon networks. Most of the genomes are downloaded from NCBI and genes are parsed from GenBank files. When an incomplete genome is directly downloaded from a sequencing center, we predict protein coding genes using CRITICA and Glimmer, tRNA genes using tRNAscan and other RNA genes by BLASTn. All of the info in the VIMSS genome database is freely available on our website. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Fungal Genetics Stock Center is a resource available to the Fungal Genetics research community and to educational and research organizations in general. The FGSC was founded following recommendations of the Genetics Society of America in 1960 at Dartmouth College. In 1960 there were approximately 400 strains at the FGSC. Now there are over 8,000 Neurospora strains, a growing number of Neurospora knock-outs, over 2,000 Aspergillus strains and various representatives of other fungi. Additionally, the FGSC has cloned genes, and gene libraries. In early 2001, we added strains of Magnaporthe grisea and molecular tools for working with them. In 2003 and 2004, we accepted nearly 50,000 Magnaporthe knock out mutants. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Achaeal Genome Browsers at UCSC were developed by members of the Lowe Lab, with significant support from the UCSC Human Genome Browser group. The Archaeal Browsers are run by a slightly modified version of the UCSC Human Genome Browser system. Additional extremophile and other model bacteria are available from main genome menu. New species are added as they become public, and upon request. Get Started Browsing: click on a species in the archaeal phylogenetic tree, or select a species from genome table below, or go directly to the genome menu. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Aspergillus flavus is a plant, animal, and human pathogen that produces the carcinogen, aflatoxin. An organized multidisciplinary team is coordinating research efforts to control this fungus and to prevent the formation of its toxin in food and feeds. [Information of the supplier]
